The new one has 3 wire and the old one 2? That sounds like you've gone from the normal resistance type to the less popular optical style. You can buy adapters, go see the local gas man or change the multivave assembly in the tank to a resistive type gauge, you will then have to fit the appropriate resistive sensor for the car. There is about 10 various senders available to match the various gauge resistances used by vehicle manufacturers.

Yes there is a aftermarket gauge that matches but that type of sender is not very reliable and not often used now.
