Default 82 fuel sending unit HELP NEEDED

Can someone recommend a good reproduction sending unit? All the ones I find are polished stainless and don't really look like the original. There is one from Tracy performance it says it's a GM restoration part but I can find no evidence that GM Restoration makes one. Just looking for one as close to the original as possible that is compatible with e10.

Remember now the original was subject to years of exposure to gasoline and over time got a varnish-like substance built up on it. You could also refurbish it...

Let me get this straight,
you want it as close to original as possible.
(Although no one will ever see it)
AND, you want it to be compatible with alcohol?
Certainly not much of an ask.
