Gunslinger,
It's good to hear from you! I essentially did what you suggested. I bought the 12v "Made in the USA" gauge from Kaiser Willys. It is a 2-post style like the original, but the bezel is OD green. (I did paint it black) This gauge works perfectly.
At this point, I believe Walck's just got a bad batch of fuel gauges. I had purchased their gauge before and it works fine.
