I used the VDO GM sending unit # 226008 (0-90 ohms I think) that works well with the FARIA Gauges you may have gotten with your B&B. However, I got rid of those in favor of a full set of Autometer electric and mechanical gauges ( oil pres, oil temp, & water temp).
Good luck.

I installed one from Centroid Products ($52 included the shipping). I haven't tried it yet... hope it works. No moving parts sounded good to me. I was concerned about the "fuel slosh" problems I've heard people talking about. They make senders for boats and RVs and said I shouldn't have any gauge fluctuation problems.

I use a racing fuel cell with a foam insert that prevents most sloshing. Over the last 5 or 6 years the unit has been flawless. I only ran out of gas once at 5:00 getting on the freeway (my fault not the gauges-trying to get to a speed shop for some 110).

This is from a previous post of mine: "Actually, I hate to say this so I don't jinx it, but after trouble with the original and the "tube type" sender, I bought the Auto Meter 3262 Univ Fuel Level Sender and it seems to be working well. I found the best price at Amazon.com. When I fill the tank, I get a gas smell in the trunk for a while. I think it's from the vent but the sending unit is one I would recommend for the time being."
I am still happy with the Auto Meter product and would recommend it.

Double check the ohm rating I believe 0-90 is incorrect for faria. The correct ohm rating is listed on another thread

Oh, the strip and spin on the ferrels. Been there and done that. I think I only have 2 of the original ones that work.
