So today I got around to this task. I pulled the sender, then disassembled and cleaned it per the couple threads on the topic. Resistance between
two of the pins was within
Lapuwali's specs:

Two other pins will give you a variable resistance from 5-10ohms with the float at the top, and 70-90 ohms with the float at the bottom.
The wires didn't seem to be in bad shape. I carefully cleaned them with a bit of fine steel wool. The little contacts on the float seemed to be covered in some crud though. I cleaned the contact surfaces with a toothpick wrapped in a bit of tissue.
The only thing I wished I had done before getting started was to check the fuel gauge reading. Afterwards it read well over half full. I had only been getting to at most half full before.
Thanks for the help.
