I've been running into a problem with my fuel gauge since I finished the restoration. I'd fill it up, it would read full, but as the tank level started to drop, it seemed that the last half of the tank just dropped rather suddenly. When it registered empty, I still had about 3"-4" inches of fuel in the tank. Last Saturday, I added another 2 gallons, and the gauge just barely moved from the empty position. My memory banks clicked in, and I remember that the sender I bought from Moss looked different then the original, but at the time the original was stowed away, so I didn't physically compare the two...I should have.
I took the Moss unit out, and the difference is quite dramatic. See the pic below...I bought one from e-bay that looked much more like the original, the guy even cited the original fuel sender part number...that's the one in the middle, with the Moss unit on the left, and the original on the right.
The one from e-bay isn't perfect. The mounting holes are a little off, so I had to drill them out to a slightly larger size to get them to line up. Also, the holes are offset compared to the original by 30 degrees, but as long as you aim the arm towards the back of the tank, it's OK.
With the e-bay unit in there, the tank reads almost 1/4 full...which is about right for the amount of gas in there.
One thing for sure, it's always a challenge... :laugh:
