does bronco II sending unit work with original gauge

can anyone tell me if the sending unit from the bronco II will work with my existing fuel gauge (65 f250 )? or can my old sending unit be modified to work with the new bronco tank?
one other stupid question , there is a small hole on top of the bronco tank , what's this for ?
thanks for any info

The sending unit will work but will be opposite, when full it will show empty. Takes some getting used to but will still work.
The small hole on top is usually used for a vent system to advoid vapor locking.

thanks Dean,
did you put a bronco II tank in your truck? how did you deal with the vent hole? I wouldn't think you would need to vent tank since the cap is vented.
thanks again

I actually noticed it on a pick-up tank when I stripped the truck, see if you can find one in a wrecking yard to use. I have not gone with the bronco yet, still have that to do in my 61.
