fuel sender question....
I will be running an inline pump and wont be using the stock tpi in tank pump anymore.
I decided to just modify a stock sending unit
I used a brass compression fitting with brass inlet tube. I also plan on brazing the fitting together so it wont loosen up.
Will that work out ok?

I wouldn't bother brazing the fittings.
You need a pick-up sock, like the sticky in the top section of this forum describes. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/carb...nk-pickup.html

will galvanic corrosion be a big issue?

No. The gas tank is a reasonably inert environment as long as you don't have water sitting in it.
