55 56 Ford fuel gauge

[Sid]

Any recommendations on aftermarket fuel gauge and sending unit kits that will go under dash for a 12 volt 55 56 ford car? Stewart warner Auto Meter or what ever. That will also fit the tank. Part numbers would be a great help.

Most of the aftermarket senders will require this adapter for an early tank : https://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/...t_id=344/category_id=167/mode=prod/prd344.htm I have this one and the matching sender in my '54 Ford. https://www.pepboys.com/sunpro-styleline-electrical-fuel-level-gauge-black-dial/product/9540042

I had a SunPro fuel gauge and sender in my car. The fuel gauge was always fluctuating while in motion. When the sender became erratic, I replaced it with a Autometer sender to match the Sunpro gauge. I now have a steady, accurate fuel reading. Just my experience, your mileage may vary.

I have all Sunpro gauges in my roadster. The only one that doesn't work is the fuel gauge. Replaced and modified the sender twice. Still doesn't work. I guess you get what you pay for!
