Just got an email advertising this product, which appears to be a new product from Autometer.

Here at the shop, we've been buying replacement fuel gauges for almost all of the Gen I GTM builds that did not ship with the programmable fuel gauge. The original fuel gauge shipped with the GTM didn't really work with the 'Vette tanks. Even with both tanks empty, the gauge would show 1/8th tank of fuel left....and if I recall, would show past full until the tanks got down to lower than 3/4 tank. Whether you tried to use both senders in series or just one sender, the gauge never really worked well either way.
Apparently this new product allows you to use any sender with any Autometer gauge.....so those of you with older Gen I kits with the non-programmable gauge, this is a cheaper route than buying the Autometer programmable gauge...which I think the last one I bought was $135?
