I am replacing the gas gauge in my 31 Tudor. The last time I attempted to do this I had gas leaked all over the insede of my car! Is there anywhere I can get instruction on how best to do this?

Already did this twice...LOL. Make sure you run the gas down to a quarter of a tank and it will not leak. I bought a new cork as the original but got loaded up because of the crap gas we are subjected to. Replaced it with the neoprene and no problems. Also, spend the money on the dash gaskets too...you won't be sorry.

Before you start this project, DISCONNECT the battery. Use cork gaskets and get a few of the thin washers, and the neoprene float.
Do a search (black bar top of this page) as this has been covered extensively in the past.
