Could just put on an electronic bridge and measure the resistance at 0 and 
80. Take about 10 minutes with a 12v supply, DVM, and a 0-100 ohm variable 
pot (in a pinch, could use a 0-1k pot). Once you know the full scale and 
zero reading resistances, finding a sending unit should be simple.

Or ask SW.
