Nice info to know. Maybe you could go ahead and do a write up of what you did to repair yours. Just remind folks the photo is the bimetal 48-50 22nd and 23rd series sender. I believe the bimetal type was only used in those years. Straight variable resistance senders were used in other years and the ohm values did vary depending on whose instruments Packard used in a series.

Another poster over at PAC forum found his original was rusted and according to the repair company he contacted, too far gone to be repaired. He was apparently able to replace the bimetal type with a straight resistance type. His choice of sender and where he got it as well as the other readily available items needed to adapt the different mount on the new sender to the Packard tank is in his thread. AFAIK the conversion was successful as there have been no updates since the work was done.
