Other than the arm it seems to be working fine. I don't drive it much maybe 10 miles a week just to keep the oils moving. so far so good

Bob, Have you had to make any more adjustments to your new sending unit?

Just wanted to thank everyone for help in getting this repaired and the education everyone has given me. Seems to work with the correct sender in it. I drained most of the gas out and it read empty and put 5 gallons in and it reads little above 1/4 tank. Will keep an eye on it as I use the fuel. Again Thank you

I salvaged a sender from a rusted out '51 Ford sedan, to replace the "jobber" unit in my '46 Super Deluxe. I didn't have the chart/info that Dan posted, so I did as Jay posted. The sender arm and float from the salvaged unit was in bad condition, so I spliced the "jobber" sender arm and float onto the arm of the salvaged KS unit, shaped the arm to get the travel needed and I now have a reliable fuel gauge.

Here is a copy of the instructions sent with a Ford service fuel sender. See if yours is on the chart.

Now the question, is that 42-48 arm a good length for your 36 tank? May need to shorten or bend the arm to fit your tank. I would measure the depth of your tank and draw two lines on cardboard indicating the top and bottom of your tank. Then lay the sender on your template and see if the float will hit top or bottom before the sender is able to move thru its full range of movement.

This is from a 42 to 48. I tested with a multimeter and it appears to be in working order
