The sending unit in the 50 has never worked (maybe electrical?). Nevertheless I noticed that the unit in the 50 is like a worm gear type with the ballast being connected to one gear (in a vertical position) meshing another gear which is in a horizontal position that is connected to the long shaft up to the top.
The unit that came out of the 53 has its ballast connect to a different type of pivoting mechanism but also has a copper like ribbon which runs parrallel with the long shaft up and down.
Can I use the 53 sending unit in a 50 truck ?
