Think the post above you gives you your best answer. Please remember, we are working blind here trying to respond to information posted in a thread. And memory/confusion is a common problem with a lot of use, LOL. Your not than much older than most of us and younger than some!

Resistance Sending Units do not play well with original gauges, that's just the way it is.

I am sure that no one, including myself, had the intention of denigrating the
OP or his intention, especially when not knowing the the full spectrum of the inquiring person. No harm, no foul. I am sure everyone is still willing to try and help. Also, there may be a Fordbarner in SW Ohio that can stop by and lend a helping hand. Dennis: Hope you post again. At 75 my memory isn't what it used to be either.

Because of the mismatch between the sender and the gauge, it will take a lot of trial and error to get it to read like you want. In some cases you can get it to work for empty and so so on full or the other way around, but difficult to get both. Some uses claim to get it work fairly well, but again, it is trial and error.
