Re: 1933/34 dual gauge temp sender unit (hose part).
Guess it's why we should not throw anything away. Certainly if it's made of brass.

Re: 1933/34 dual gauge temp sender unit (hose part).
Graham, Ive just been thinking back and remember not only buying the NOS dual temp fuel gauge but also bought a NOS 33-34 oil chex gauge and ammeter in its original box, a pair of NOS aluminium 21 stud made in Canada cylinder heads, 4 NOS FORD water pump repair kits in ford boxes and several new fiber Ford V8 timing gears. Down the back in another building there were about 10 parts racks which used NOS model T Ford running boards for the shelfs around 50 boards in all. So I dismantled the shelves and purchased all the boards as well. Later on I got some new V8 engine valves, valve guides, carby repair kits and head gaskets. Thats about the best luck I have ever had I think. Regards, Kevin.

Re: 1933/34 dual gauge temp sender unit (hose part).
I have two nice units that work, but on the fluid is now orange, and the other unit it is clear. No point in installing these in my 34’s unless I get the, repaired with red fluid. Can you post again who repairs them. I know it was posted recently but can’t find it. Thanks

The ongoing fear of using it - I've commented on this subject, to use . . . or not to use. I have spoken to a few that supply it, asking, isn't this red stuff fatal? One reply," Huh! If ya drink it, yes! I've been mixing it and supplying it for decades, and I'm still here." Still, I'm 'skeerd' ta use it for my '33, thinking, maybe I'll roll up a red-colored paper and 'sleeve it in the glass fuel tube so it appears that the 'red' is in it. Then adjust a fuel tank float and sender of some kind to connect to accessory under-dash gauge. BUT: I am consider'g woodgrain'g the dash; the dash being removed for the woodgraining, then upon replacing the dash, this would be the time to clean up the fuel gauge tube and eye-drop the 'red' with a covid-type face mask at arm's length. (the air line is in and sealed all the way to the gauge connection per the previous owner. Any suggestions will be much appreciated! If the NOS Ford 'red' is available, from where/who. Thank you. *** |
