Clean and reseal the one you've got (in and out).  Replace whatever you need 
to on the sending unit.  Test it with an ohm meter.  Put it back together 
and back into the normal place.  Don't know if I'd use one of the new 
plastic floats - heard a couple of war stories about those already.  You'll 
be good for another 40+ years!
