Default replace '33 fuel sender with electric sender.

Replace '33 fuel sender with a '36, '37, '38 electric sender and gauge.
( '36, '37, '38 fuel sender machine screw holes should 'line up' with the '33 tank top holes.(?)

I intend to keep the '33 fuel gauge in the dash for 'looks'.

Your thoughts. Thank You.

Where would you put the new gauge since you’re keeping the old one for looks?

Tim - The new gauge will possibly be fastened to the underside of the dash, viewable on the driver's left - somewhat concealed and a comfortable glance to the gauge.
(if interested, view my other posts on this subject by key words.
My orig '33 gauge that came w/the car was completely destroyed by the obviously spilled 'red' . . . corrosion, & corrosion holes through the metal case. ( I've found another '33 orig for the gauge panel. Thank You!

Apparently no one has done what I am considering.

With your original sender, the fuel line comes out of the tank as part of the sender. From 36, when the senders went electric, the fuel line comes outta the front of the tank; it is completely remote from the sender unit. So, how will you address this little problem?
