Anybody have this sender from BPE? https://www.bperacing.com/inc/sdetail/5579/6938
I haven't heard of anything but overseas made (junk)
$100 more than the Ebay ones but I'd be interested if it really works.

I don't see any claims that it is any better or more accurate than the crap we have been offered before.
It would be great if it IS better. I'd be willing to spend more to get better quality.

Amen to that.
The time spent bending/adjusting the repop one......

Just noticed the plastic float and no sock in the pic.

That is only part of the problem. The other is the Rheostat design. OEM Mopars used an elliptical curve. All the new ones are linear. In a 68-70 tank, 9.5 gallons is a half tank but these senders can send a signal that shows anywhere from 3/8 to 3/4 of a tank on the gauge. It sucks ass from the top of the crack to the back of the sack.

And it seems like such an easy thing to address.

Did some reading about that, lucky I saved my old one.
