Received the tank and sender yesterday so I decided to put everything back together last night.
The tanks look pretty similar but defintely not identical. Good news is the filler neck extends into the middle baffle like the originals.
I tested new sender prior to install. Hung it off the tank straps and hooked up power wire to sender then hooked up ground, moved the float up and down and the gauge in the car worked as it should. Installed everything and put 5 gallons of gas in car and the gauge reads empty.
If I disconnect the power lead to the sender the gauge reads full. I had to drill a new ground as the new sender wire was too short to make the old location work, thinking that might be the problem. Ran out of time and patience (doing this on a garage floor) at 10 PM and will try again this weekend......ugh. I love old cars!
