Is this http://www.smartcart.com/WemaUSA/cgi...em_num=SSS/SSL the version that is a straight vertical rod that must be matched to the depth of the tank?

If it's not can somebody post a link to one?

You can buy a universal sender ($30) and read the instructions carefully when installing.
AND DON"T FORGET THE GASKET!

The newer (more $) senders are a straight vertical rod and must be matched to the depth of the tank.

and remember...the bottom half of a v-belly tank holds less gas than the top half...think about it.
