Look in the service manual section DI (driver information) under "combination meters" for info on the fuel level sensor. It'll tell you which pins the sending unit should connect to.

The OEM unit resistance is approximately 80 ohms when empty and 3 ohms when full, so your sending unit will probably make the gauge read off a bit, but not too much.
