: : The gas gauge on my '71 Comet GT w/302 is pinned on empty. I have checked the tank sender unit and after grounding the wires together the gauge goes up to full, indicating no signal from the sender. I assume the sender is bad or the float has dropped (have not taken sender out yet.) My question is, can I obtain a new sender/float unit, if so where?
: : If not, what senders are interchangable for this car?
: : Thanks in advance for your help.
: Less then $5 for the brass float,easy fix!And You can get the float at any "good" parts house.Only thing is make sure You install it right,I just got back from the local Exxon and filled up took 15.786 gals. and I thought I had a 15 gal.tank,and the gauge was just under 1/4,go figure!Anyway let's hear gas price's out there,I live in the San Francisco Bay area,I paid $1.99 per gal.Let's hear where Your at and what it cost for gas!
Tom:
I am in central new jersey and we pay $1.47 for reg. What if the sender is bad? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
