Otto, yes, that should work for you. To confirm which one you have, your original is either stamped “50” or is not stamped at all. The 80 lb senders are all stamped “80”. Replacement of one to the other is not difficult, but will require the use of a special tool: take an ordinary 1/2” open end wrench, heat it cherry red, and bend it into a U shape such that it will engage the flats of the sender while the handle rises up and over the unit, thereby affording the clearance to turn the wrench without interference with the firewall.
