I salvaged an original fuel sender from a '51 Ford, to use in my '46. The float was full of holes and the float rod almost rusted through. Thanks to a Kubes post, I had the knowledge of how to open and check the internals. All was good, and tested okay when connected to the gauge wire at the tank. I had an aftermarket sender that I was going to use, until I found the '51 sender. I used a part of the new arm and new float to repair the KS unit. Just have to install it now.


Looking at the DC aftermarket China sender that I scavenged for pieces, I noticed what looks like a printed circuit board that the resistance wire winding is connected to. Looking closer it is not wire, but metal "printed" on like a circuit board. wonder how long they will last? I know there are lots of posts about how inaccurate these aftermarket senders are, so I'm lucky to have found the KS unit.
