Rick Allen Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 My '64 was completely disassembled when I bought it a few weeks ago including the fuel tank and sender. After cleaning the tank and coating the inside, I'm ready to install the sender but I'm not sure how to position the float as to it pointing forward or backward in the tank? The book shows the float pointing to the rear of the car toward the trunk but the way the tank is designed and the position of the sender hole opening, it seems that would put it too close to the back side of the tank. Seems to me the float should be installed pointing toward the front of the car however I guess it could go to either the left or right side also?

Dwight FitzSimons Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Aren't the screws staggered in such a way that the sender can be installed in only one position? --Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo B Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 I remember it goes like in the picture - float moving in the right side. Main thing is that it does not touch the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63R1388 Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 I just replaced the sender in my ‘63 a few months ago. Was ordered from SI and worked beautifully. The bolt pattern is specific to an orientation. Seems like the float was pointing toward the right side… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
