Thanks for the advice. I bought a sending unit for a 54 pickup which is not configured to fit the panel tank. I cut the pickup tube above the float mechanism and used standard compression fittings to reconnect and to turn the unit 180 degrees so that it would fit correctly. I then used my original as a template to bend the pick up tube and float to the correct depth. It worked great and I get a good gauge reading.
Thanks again Tom and Tim
