Has anyone used a fuel cell in place of the stock gas tank and installed a sending unit of some sort? If so, which type? This is for my 94.

I have done that with my challenger. When you order your fuel cell make sure it has the provisons for a sending unit. the Ohms you need if dodge didn't change it would be empty 73-10ohms full. double check it with a ohm meter.

Looks like this however this one uses GM sender the ohms are o-90 not sure if you can get the mopar with it. Also if you get a fuel cell without the sender there is 2 different lengths they use just keep that in mind when you order.

So I just need to find a sending unit that is the same height as my fuel cell with the correct ohms for 0-full. I can easily cut a hole at the top of my current fuel cell to place it.

It looks like pre 1989 Fords used the same type of sending unit (ohm wise): http://www.fordification.com/tech/fuel-sending-units.htm

Would it be just as simple as to find one of those, adjust the length of the float arm to the depth of my cell and install it?

I've been working on this and the problem is that the Dakota sending unit (according to the factory service manual) is 90 ohms at empty and 0 ohms at full. I can't seem to find a tube-style sending unit like this anywhere....
