fuel sending unit???

I know there isnt and exact duplicate. But could you tell of one that is close so I could try to bend it to work?? I heard 64 nova? has anyone tried anything else. I am sick of dropping this tank all the time.let me know Geoff

No replacements for a first gen tank huh????


How about the second gen tank......is it the same?
And if not, can replacement sender be had?

Wont work with a 1st gen guage, different impedance.

Ya just got to find the right pieces and rebuild yours...

1st Gen is 30 ohm.. 2nd Gen is 90 ohm..

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.........
Not to hijack this thread. But can the second gen sender be bought still? Or is there a swap out for a different model?

I may be into this job later in the week.

Check out www.quantaproducts.com. I got a 2nd gen unit there. They have a bunch that one might be able to make work in the first gen.

Hey Kakster, what part number did you order for you 2nd Gen?

I put this thing together for my 65, I'm calling it a prototype so dont laugh to hard.

It originally is for a 67 suburban, but that was way long but the right shape and impedence.

I had to shorten it and relocate the actual sender to the center because of the throw on the float arm, the 1st gen units dont have the same range of movement for the float arm( shorter resistor board).
the union was a last ditch effort to save what I had , a do-over would be a sleeve type coupling Tig welded or maybe soldered on, the float arm should be longer but the guy who did the tig stuff for me accidently snapped the arm and it ended up where it is. this unit also changes things to a 3/8 feul line.
If you do attempt something like this make sure your grounded safely so as not to damge the resistor when welding. Like I said its an experiment.

pretty cool, someone should produce them.??$$

I got one and other than a fitting for a hose barb it matches what came out of my 67. I think the 67 GMC is the same as the 67 Chevy. A call to Quanta could settle the issue as well. Polarbear got one for his van, maybe he can shed some light on this. Thei Quanta part is SUFG 117A

Mine took just a bit of bending so it would sit all the way down and seal. Other than that it works fine.

hey claim to have ine here for a 67 to 73 i don't know if it can be made to fit a first gen ???
