Good information Howard.

The arm length on the Ford unit I used was fine, but I needed to bend it upwards a tad to keep the float off the bottom of the tank, and so it would reach all the way to the top.

Maybe next time I have the tank out (if ever) I'll insert a 10-ohm resistor between my wire and ground.

In the empty position my sender read 130 ohms at full empty, so if the gauge only needs 75 ohms it will read empty when there's still a lot of gas in the tank. When I tested it sitting in the front seat of the car however, it was accurate.
