Don't do like I did and put it in upside down. Doesn't work to good.

In-line tube has 62 sending units.  I've had real good experiences
with them.  Excellent service; they answer your questions and can do
custom tube bending as well.

One gotcha when installing the sending unit on my 63 Polara 500.  The
sending wire has a rubber boot which slips onto a threaded lead on the
sending unit.  On the sending unit I got, the lead was just a little
shorter than the original.  So, while it seemed like it all fit fine,
I wasn't getting a good connection and the gauge didn't work.  I
trimmed a small bit of rubber off the boot and it then went on good
and snug and works like a champ.
