The only part of the sender that would need to be replaced, is the 
resistor. They are interchangeable, as long as you get a replacement that 
is not too many years away from the original. I've done the opposite a few 
times, swapping an early resistor onto a newer sender. The resistor is part 
of the stamped housing, it is held in place by a few bent tabs. The strap 
needs to be soldered to the old one. There really isn't much to it.

If you can figure out an electronic solution, you would save getting dirt 
in your eyes. Or just use the lower third of the gauge, it should work fine 
at the lower end of the scale as-is, it just won't have fine resolution.
