I work at advance and if it's in the warehouse, we can get it overnight, if it's factory direct, it usually takes a couple days to a week with free shipping.

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel sending unit
Just looked it up on Advance's and Autozone's sites and it's available, but you will probably have to order it. My past experience with both of them is usually they will have your item in a couple of days. Both places had the sending unit listed for a little over $50.00.

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel sending unit
Larry, Also remember as the fuel sloshes around the tank while you drive, the gauge will go up and down a little. If it is erratic to the point of grounding out, then you definitely have a ground problem that needs to be fixed better.

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel sending unit
You may want to just check your grounds. When mine stopped working, I removed my sending unit and moved the sending unit up and down and had a friend look at the gauge. It read perfectly, letting me know that it was just the grounds. Unless the sending unit is real old, or you got lots o $$$. There is no reason to fix something that is not broken. Also, most importantly, on my 66, I was able to get the sending unit out without dropping the tank. I need to recheck my ground later today when I can as my unit reads fine til 1/4 tank, then goes past full. So I need to recheck my ground too.

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel sending unit
It wouldn't hurt to change the sending unit while you have it out. I changed mine when I replaced the tank so I didn't have to deal with it later. You should be able to get the tank out between the exhaust by unbolting the rear hangers and pushing it out of the way as you bring it down. If it still has fuel in it the weight can shift easilly but the suggestion of a floor jack and board is a good one. If I remember correctly, the only difference in sending units is the vapor return line or lack there of. It is my understanding that the 396/350 had the return line and the 396/375 did not. The return line runs along the frame with the fuel line. Just order the one that is currently on your car.

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel sending unit
Forget to put this in my original reply, but the best way I found to drop the gas tank is to support it with a floor-jack while you undo the straps. The tank is not overly heavy if it's near empty, but bulky especially if you are by yourself and laying on your back. Jack comes in handy for reinstalling the tank and holding it in place while you get the straps bolted up. Probably wouldn't hurt if you put a block of wood between the tank and the jack for added protection. Good luck !!!

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel sending unit
Had a similar problem in my "69" and one day while it read past full I ran out of gas about a mile from my house. Called my son and after putting in 5 gals. and cranking on it forever, got it started and drove it home. The next week dropped the tank and put a new sending unit in it , problem solved. I think 68-72 all used the same tank and sending unit . Year one,National parts depot, Original parts group, Ground up, and Eckler to name a few all carry sending units. Might also be able to get it through Advance auto,Autozone,NAPA, ect. Hope this helps, nothing feels dumber than sitting along the side of the road in a muscle car with no gas in the tank and having people that you know drive by and look!!

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel sending unit interchange?
Dave, Would an original '68 sending unit help you out ? It is still very solid, little surface rust. Probably still works, but just for piece of mind I replaced it. You are welcome to this one if it will help. :) Kent '68 Malibu ZZ502/502 ACES #5102 - Original Message - From: "Dave Studly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "The Chevelle Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 12:22 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] fuel sending unit interchange? > Well, I guess what I'm looking for specifically is something that will > interchange at the top of the tank.

RE: [Chevelle-list] fuel sending unit interchange?
They are almost all the same. OTTOMH I think it's a 2.5 inch opening. Some 1970+ Camaros and Firebirds use a bigger one but all the other car & truck ones I've seen have the 2.5 inch ring.

RE: [Chevelle-list] fuel sending unit interchange?
Well, I guess what I'm looking for specifically is something that will interchange at the top of the tank. The number of tubes doesn't concern me much, as this is part of what I plan to modify. I just need the locking ring and top 'plate' to match so that I don't have to hack up my tank. I hope I'm explaining this clearly. -Dave -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John Nasta Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 1:07 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] fuel sending unit interchange?
