Somewhere in the Helm book they probably list what resistance the sender is supposed to have at empty, mid, full, or whatever. You just gotta find any sender that has the same range of resistance.

Contact the maker of the gauge that you want to get and see if they have one that will work with your existing sending unit. I know that autometer makes different ones for just this (ford is different than chevy)

I also know that autometer makes sending units for their gauges.
