The tanks are the same between the V8 and I6, however the sending unit is different.
Another check of the wire that you could do, would be to unhook it from both ends and check either end to ground. It should show open (infinite) and not a closed (zero or little to no resistance) reading. Maybe you already did this, I wasn't entirely sure by reading your original post.
The line coming out of the sending unit for the v8 is larger. I think v8 is a 3/8 line and the I6 is a 5/16 but don't hold me to those numbers.... By the way, hello, from a fellow mid-Michigander!
