Reply to "Wiring the fuel guage!"

No, I suspect the fuel level light would always have been integral to the (stock Veglia) fuel GAUGE itself (an orange light on the low end of the range, though neither of mine have such so I could be wrong, but not your main concern here).

The Autometer #4916 would be the closest match (that I'm aware of, in Autometer ultralite series, unless they have a newer product) to the ohm range but would read BACKWARD. You could add a 40 ohm resistor and would then be very close, just reversed. I don't see any good solution with the Autometer gauge you have, as you note it's a very different range. There's presumably a way to internally rewire the gauge or the sender, but that's beyond my ability (and I have yet to come across any instructions on the forum here for doing so, despite the wealth of knowledge here that far exceed mine).

I should note, Hall & Precision ProFormance sell a proprietary VDO gauge that reverses the direction on the 240/33 Ohm range to 33/240 (AND when I installed theirs, also corrected for the 40 Ohm difference on my car), and I believe I have read that another vendor(s) does the same for Autometer, but I can't recall which vendor(s). Perhaps someone will chime in.
