    If you can find an Part# of any kind on the gauge you might be able to match one up. I've run into similar situations over the years as Ford and MOPARs take one sender and GM another.....of course most modern aftermarket gauges use the GM one. If you have the old sender you might be able to get it working enough to read the ohms. The values you're looking for are Empty and Full, what it does in the middle doesn't matter for determining the sender you need.

    Two options I can think of are:

    Amazon. If you can find the sender listed there, they have a really good return policy.

    The other is a little pricey, but there are various convertors/interface units out there that they claim to match the gauge to sender. They do various things; polarity, ohm changes etc so read the description closely. I've never used one so don't have any idea how well they work, but I think there are a few You Tube reviews out there.
