Looking for information how to install a fuel level sending unit, and where can you get one?

Very easy job.
I did get the rubber gasket from 914Rubber. It was A LOT thicker than the original. Only downside to that is that the original bolts holding the fuel level sender to the tank were too short to reach the tank through the thicker gasket. I replaced them with next longer size using stainless steel hex cap screws from the local hardware store. Not sure if others have run into this problem or not? |

I imagine the origional gasket was pretty thin from age and pressure but then again, with these cars, sometimes it's what ever works, works. You can also rebuild your sending unit if yours is sticking. There is an old thread on this site that gives directions. |
