Smith's fuel gauge sender

[my427cobra]

Hoping someone can help me find the right fuel tank sending unit for my Smith's fuel gauge. I have a set of the "original style" Smith's guages that I purchased on the forum and I need the "right" sending unit for it.
I will need a top mount sending unit for a tank 7.5" deep.
What is the ohm range of the Smith's guage?
Will only a Smith's sender work or will some other manufacturer's sender work?
What would the Smith's part number be/or other manufacturer?
Does anyone know of a dealer who has one?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Greg

Greg,

I beleive I have a (gasp) chevrolet sender with mine, and that requires a resistor at the gauge to match. are your gauges original or the more recent remakes (still Smiths) of the last few years.

Your best bet is to call Nisonger autmotive , they will help you out.

Thanks KK. I did contact Nisonger : Smith's senders are significantly back ordered and they would rather sell me a new gauge with a matching sender (probably due to the new / old version matching problem). I'll probably have to do the resistor matching like you did,

The Smiths fuel gauge uses a 15 ohm to 300 ohm range
