    The fuel level sender I have reads Full 7-9, Empty 130-140. I need a gauge that is 2-1/16 or 2-5/8 diameter. This is the only one I have been able to find. MTS Company Fuel Gauge
    It's $45 to have it shipped to me. I would like to find one like it for cheaper or one with ohm readings that are close to the sender?

    There are lots of gauges on the Summit Racing site. Start here https://www.summitracing.com/search?SortBy=BestKeywordMatch&SortOrder=Ascending&keyword=fuel gauge&N=4294951021 and keep picking your requirements until you find the gauge you need. If the exact specs you need are not there, it probably isn't made. There is an Equus gauge for about $20 that's 70 empty and 10 full, which is the closest I found to your requirements. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/equ-7361

    10 full and 70 empty matches Jeep senders before 1985 or so ... IIRC this is the "Stewart-Warner standard range." If you have an oddball sender, it may not match any gauge but the one that came with the car.

    An alternative would be to pick a gauge and sender together. You can buy universal senders that match many gauges and would give you the most flexibility https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cin-sn33/overview/

    Well I'm going to have to replace the fuel level sender it reads 90-95 ohms full and around 50-53 ohms at the empty position. I'm going to use the 70 empty 10 full set up.
