I was just reading this old posting. I see Fatman shows a hub to hub suspension app for 1928 to 1964 Studebaker cars which I would think would cover to 86 Avanti. Has anyone gone this route?

Do you have to drain the tank of gas before changing the fuel sending unit?
No. I had the tank out for cleaning, sealing etc and bought a new sending unit when I put the tank back in. The car had sat since the 90's.

Thanks Mel, That makes sense. What made me question it was the picture in the parts manual. The float faces the rear but I guess that was for illustration purpose. I didn't check the hole position. As soon as it cools down I'll give it a try. Thanks again.
Thanks Silver Stude. Great tip on copper washers. It may explain why there were 3 ground wires off of wiring harness.

When installing the fuel sending unit, which direction does the float go? I'm assuming towards the passenger side of the vehicle.

I agree to buy the best car you can. When I was looking for a Healy 3000 I had a friend a friend that owned a Morgan. His advice was to go to a national show and buy whatever wins first place. I've never done it as I didn't have the money but when I did buy I didn't buy it to sell. I keep my cars a long time and improve them slowly. I seldom lose money. I bought a $8,000 non running car with good hog troughs. The car has almost every option and 4 speed and now has MSD ignition, FI Tech fuel injection, roller cam, roller rockers, Dubz Thermal radiator and recapture tank, relocated battery, Michelin tires, Rocket wheels, rebuilt front suspension, new exhaust, and at present a/c is being refreshed with new hoses and a new Sanden compressor, plus all new gauges but needs paint and carpet. But when I look what I see advertised, I could buy a better looking car for far less money than I have in mine.
