I am rebuilding an 802a and had a bad fuel sending unit, checked by TM. I order a new on ebay but instead of a one wire and ground wire to the base, I have a 4 wire connector to the new unit. 2 red wires and 2 black wires. The bottom of this unit has 2 sliding tubes on an L shaped tube instead of the float arm. Has anyone traded these out? Your input would be appreciated.

Something wrong here. You say fuel sending unit. Do you mean a fuel level sending unit, MT5, or a fuel level switch, FL1/FL2? The switch has four wires, the sending unit two. What you are describing is the switch. I think you ordered the wrong part.

+1, I think you got the switch setup and not the level sending unit.

That's a better way to put it. I assumed you ordered the wrong part. Maybe you ordered the right part, and they shipped you the wrong part.

A while back someone said a Auto Meter # 3262 would work.

Well, what number did you order? Have you used both NSN and part number to search? If you got it on the big auction site, look at the details of that sale, and contact the seller. If you ordered part A, and they send you part B, then your options are they fix the problem, or you give them a crappy rating.

I installed one. I posted photos of it awhile back.If you remove the metal piece in the middle that makes it longer it is identical to the OEM part except that the wire is longer. It can be wrapped around the shaft to take up the extra wire length. Worked well.
