Default Re: one screw stuck in fuel sender flange

I salvaged a KS fuel sender from a '50 Ford sedan, to replace the after market ender that a PO installed in my '46 Coupe. It was real scummy, the float had a few pinholes in it, and the wire float arm was almost corroded away. I salvaged it with some TLC, and some advice from Kubes. It works much better than the resistance type sender, and is more accurate. I had to adjust/bend the float arm to make sure the limits on the float travel were reached before the float hit the top or bottom of the tank. Not the info you are looking for on screw removal, but maybe of value once you get the sender out of the tank. I know the chart is for a '51, but good for reference.

Thank you 19Fordy. Another important point I learned, is to disconnect the power to the ignition coil, if you are testing the gauge/sender with the ignition on
