Question Fuel Sender Question

My sender has a "bad spot" at about the 3/4 full position where the indicated level drops to 0 and the alarm sounds and the warning light comes on. Never fails to make my heart skip a beat. The level comes back after I burn off some fuel. It happens every tankful. I'm thinking I'll just replace the sender when I do the intank mods.

Does anybody have the part number for the sender? I can't make heads or tails out of the diagram on Ed's website.
