Many electrical problems are caused by old "bullet" connecters somewhere in the circuit. We remove the old connector and solder the wires, and cover the splice with a piece of heat shrink tubing to make it look "real". The other common problem is lack of adequate ground. Years of dirt and rust make the chassis a poor conductor. We add a separate ground wire to all devices, and make sure the ground is good using an ohmmeter. As for the fuel sender, the original King Seely senders are now replaced with a variable resistor operated by the float. Properly grounding the mounting flange, and calibrating the reading by bending the float arm can approximate the amount of fuel in the tank. Most gauges will operate with the resistor. I have one in my '47, and it works fine.
