fuel tank sending unit

[wanab65]

Hello everyone. My first post. I purchased a CR that originally was put together in 1991. It was 98% completed and running. After 29 miles it was parked and the engine started several times a year until a couple of years ago.
I got it running and then got the clutch and transmission sorted (the original reason for parking it). All gauges operate except the gas gauge. When I took the tank out I checked the sending unit and got movement on the meter but upon putting everything back together the gas gauge does not register. I was going to replace the sending unit at the time I had it out but after going to several auto parts counters, they were unable to identify or duplicate the sending unit. I put I back in hoping it would work.

A little info on my car. It has a 351w and t-5 transmission, 8.8 rear end and Mustang suspension. The car runs great and the only thing left to fix is the gas gauge. Does anyone know a part number or make of the sending unit?
I have been reading your highly informative conversations for months and have found them very helpful with my restoration. Thanks to all.
