Technical Fuel Tank Float Sending Urgent Question

Quick question as I'm right into the hunt and appreciate any feedback.

I have a original tank that takes the 5 screw gasket / ring float sending unit to bolt down.
The original float sending unit is next to impossible to find but one with the same set up is available but with the locking ring / gasket type.

Anyone retro fit an newer fuel tank sending locking ring sending unit to an old tank 5 bolt gasket / ring with tighten unit ?

I need to know quick as my Suburban is in my buddies shop and need to get it back up and running and out of his shop.

Thanks,
Cob

 

62 Sub.
So 30 ohm
Has after market gages so prolly need 90 ohm

 

Saw LMC …..but has ring lock and CX1844 by Classic Industries in the 2nd pic for a 63 but not sure it will work.

 

I have a straight tube now - no curves so I'm thinking it might work but won't be accurate.

The tank is a rear mounted tank BTW.

 

I won't know until tomorrow morning.

 

Thanks fellas, I have to figure out something quick and not tie up my buddies lift.

 

Well, got the new one in From Classic Industries in California.

Tuesdays overnight Red ( double the price of the part ) for Wednesday delivery because of the LA Fires and The Louisville Hub getting buried with snow, turned in to yesterday delivery.

Appreciate all your suggestions and yes to make this work, will drill screw holes just at the outer edges of the plate.

Thanks for the suggestions fellas.

 

Underneath with out the tank.
Pretty solid old Burb.

 

Used a Fuel Resitant J-B Type worm under the plate, plate screws, then tightened it down.
Last pic is smeared some water repelling silicone sealer smeared around the outer plate / edges to keep water out.

Making progress.

 

It’s all part of Looking Cool for being old.
Had to have a gas gage.

 

Done - works !
Nice to know the gas level / gas gage works.

On top of that, got the Transit seats with built in Shoulder / seat belts installed to take my Granddaughter for rides to the lake and ice cream when they come down from Minnesota.

 

Windows are a little tinted on the outside, so you can’t really see the new high back seats inside.
