Those are the exact same gauges I have in the Ambassador.  I am using Faria senders with mine.  All those Hardin gauges are on a 33-240 ohm scale.  There is a very good chance that your existing fuel sender will work.  If not West Marine has them in stock from Moeller for ~$45.  There is a chance I have a pair good used ones in my shop.  Let me know if you need them and I will look for them.

I'm sure it will. What I am having a problem with is the fuel gauge in the Glastron. It doesn't read the Silverado tank at all.

That GM sender will not work with anything other than a GM gauge.  You will have to put a 33-240 sender in it.  Might be as simple as cutting one up and zip tying it to the existing pick up.

Actually it would probably be easier just to cut the right size hole and mount one of those senders from West in that tank.  They are adjustable for tank depth.

That first one is the one I bought the for the tank in the Ambassador.  I got it from the Garland store a couple of weeks ago.  It said on the package it was 33-240.  They had 2 different styles.  They were the same price but the way they adjusted for tank depth was different.  Both styles were the same price. They both came with gaskets and screws.  I am 99.9% positive the Teleflex is 33-240 as well.  I have Teleflex gauges in the Rebel with Autometer sending units that I know are 33-240.  If their gauges are 33-240 their senders should be too.  Not sure if they had the Teleflex sender in the store.

Another option to install it might be to use rivnuts.  That would give the screws something with a little stronger thread than just the plastic.  The gasket should be big enough to cover the entire rivnut insert  You could use the same in a larger size for that neck Chris is sending you.

Thats my buddy Dustin Sullivans family shop. Dustin is probably the best custom painter I've ever seen. Done several boats up in this area, real high end stuff.

It could be if I didn't have to work and make money on occasion. I did a little on it this morning getting the scoop fitted, which looks totally awesome on it!

Well, wife said something today about getting this piece of crap moving. Broke the old Glastron motor down today and it's wiped out. The bearings are shot and the crank is grooved. I'll finish taking it apart tomorrow and get it down to the machine shop. That lifter that was ground down till it had a hole in it, the matching cam lobe is rounded and all that metal is everywhere.

Sounds almost like a yellow motor we worked on recently. Lol.

Let me know if you need some help.

Darn fords always always having trouble with lifters.

Having pulled the cam I now can't say for sure if it was the cam or lifter that went south. A lot of people were thinking that the lifter somehow missed the hardening process when it was manufactured. Either way, it's a Lunati problem. That was a brand new Voodoo set.

Blue and grey, with the bilge the same blue as on top and the motor in grey. I'm gonna try to get that same paint scheme that's on the hood to go on the nostalgia engine scoop also.
