I used the sender from my carbed Sierra pretty much without modifications. I cut off the colvoluted, rusted cap from the fuel tube that holds the reostat itself and welded a nut to it, and made a flat flange with the ETB Instruments compatible mounting (6 holes, 60.4 mm PCD). The range of the movement of the float is very close to what's needed for a book tank. I haven't had the tank filled up to the brim to test how the upper position worked out, but outside tests showed it should be fine (I hooked up the sender to the Sierra gauge to test). The lower limit is definitely fine.
