The Teves system is generally very good, but there is no denying the parts availability is dwindling, or expensive. It does require flushing and service on a reasonable schedule but all brake systems are supposed to be as well. The Wabco STC2784 accumulator is more in the mid $200 range. That said, people have replaced the system with standard vacuum brakes and they seem to be content with that. Your money, your choice.

I bought a Reatta accumulator ball from Rock Auto for under $100.00. Also Ship is one of the guys not afraid to stock parts, so while his 1991 Reatta has the Bosch, the ABS sensor leads are even harder to come by as they are a one year part.

I think if I had the Dorman sender installed, I would put a variable resistor on the input wire from the fuel sender at the BCM. Then start with a empty tank and adjust the resistor until it just shows empty on the gauge. Then start filling the tank to see how many gallons are added before the fuel gauge starts climbing. Then fill the tank to ensure it shows full. Then if the gauge is now working as advertised, the resistance the variable resistor resistance can be read. I would probably try a 0-50 ohm potentiometer to start. The resistance needed would probably close, but may vary between cars depending on corrosion of the connections, etc. I realize this whole procedure should only be attempted by someone with enough automotive or electrical background to be comfortable trying this. And only if the gauge reading off bugs you enough to try it. Most would be happy with the Dorman as it is. The day I bought my Reatta the gauge read almost empty, so the first thing I did was drive to the gas station. That's when I found out the tank was almost full and it was the gauge that wasn't working.

I'm actually happy that the tank shows empty with 3 gallons left. That way should my wife drive the car to empty there is still 3 gallons to protect the pump motor.
