Sending Units

I was able to find a gas tank, and straps for the gas tank for my '74 Mav.. using a tank from a 76-77 from Advance Auto Parts. But I need sending units for it.. where can you get them? Advance doesn't carry them... That is so stupid that you can get a gas tank, and straps.. .but can't get sending units.. go figure. Help!

Thanks,
Jason

 

AutoKrafters carries the sending units. They sell for $59.95. Thier website is www.autokrafters.com and the phone number is 1-800-228-7346.

 

jean doll, if i read them correctly, a k rebuilds the 76-77 sending units. they are like $109 and you send them yours. the 76-77 tanks are bigger and take a diff. unit. jmo...frank...:bananaman :bananaman

 

Your right 71 Gold. I should have known that because I was checking the price for one for my 77' Maverick not too long ago. DUH! I beleive someone once said as you get older, the first thing to go is your memory.......or something like that.

 

sending unit

try your local ford dealer they should be able to get it

 

The Ford dealer does NOT carry it. It's discontinued.

I got mine from a junk-yard for 2 dollars. That was 12 years ago and it's been working great ever since...

 

Also there are alot of em for sale on E-bay right now, NOS I believe...just type in Maverick in the Auto section search engine

 

Um... ok then.. so no one manufactures them at all anymore? All I can do is get a used one? That's really dumb... cause why would they make the tank and the straps.. but not the sending units? Weird... I dunno... junk yards here I come! Thanks alot you guys. I'll keep looking.

Advance Auto sells Maverick Gas Tanks? How much they charge you for that?

 

some one has to make one if you can get one for a truck from that time period you should be able to get one for a car

one of my friends got one for a 76 1/2 tone ford he got it from Car Quest Auto

 

Ok I am confused . . . it looks like you can buy the sending units for 70' thru 75' Maverick and Comets only from AutoKrafters for 59.95, but you can't buy the 76'-77' sending units. I am I understanding this correctly? :confused:

 

mav. guy, you are right. the 76-77 have to be rebuilt...frank...:bananaman :bananaman

 

Thanks Frank, it just seems so surprising that the later model sending units aren't being manufactored. Just a little hard to believe at first glance, because you kind of expect it to be the other way around.

Thanks again for the clarification! :bananaman

 

Yep I got it from Advance, it was like $200... not cheap. It's alot lighter than the old tank too. I'll have to check with the Car Quest up here for that sending unit. Maybe they have it. Thanks alot everyone for your input.. more input would be appreciated of course

 

the send ing unit from car quest was a truck uniot so it was a little different idon't know if they have them for the mavs
