240-280Z fuel gauge swap

I searched but not found a definitive answer on this one.

 

On my '70 240 I'd just replaced the stock ammeter/fuel gauge with the voltmeter/fuel gauge from a 75-78 280z. Both had a three wire connector for the fuel gauge portion. The voltmeter part works great.

 

But I'm not getting any fuel level reading at all. Might be a wiring issue, but before I spend a day on it I have to ask the question:

 

Does anyone know if the 240 fuel tank sensor will work properly with a 280Z fuel gauge?

I decided that I didn't want to worry about the different resistance values between the tank sensors. So I simply unbolted the fuel gauge from the 240 housing and swapped it into the 280 gauge rear housing. This gives me a 280 housing with a 280 voltmeter on the top and 240 fuel gauge on the bottom....easy.
