from what ive found in the past, the v6 sending unit SHOULD work.
the v8 sending unit runs off a different resistance.

there have been a few guys over on www.thirdgen.org bend or reverse the float???? so that a ford gauge works. 0-90 is the std gm. ford is 230 or 240 somthing.... backwards of the ls1.
if you havent already bout the 90ohm gm gauge, this may be an option for you.
autometer has a ford gauge as well.

didnt buy one yet. There is always the option of installing an autometer fuel sender in my cell with a matching gauge but id like to avoid that if I can, since I already spent so much time installing the 99 sender/pump.
