Changed out the fuel tank and sending unit today. Is this worth saving? Badly rusted. Pictures don't do it justice. Was going to get this one refurbed so I didn't have to buy a meter matcher. Don't think that's going to happen.
Check out posts on John Wolf Company... some FABOers have sent their units to him for refurbishing and we’re very pleased with his work. Hope this helps...Changed out the fuel tank and sending unit today. Is this worth saving? Badly rusted. Pictures don't do it justice.

Check this:I’m not sure about refurbing, hopefully others will chime in. But I’m curious what you mean by meter matcher? I’ve not heard of that but sounds interesting.
I don't know about the sending unit, but if that's the factory lock ring clean it up and reuse it, far superior than any repo ring available use it for no leaks.I’m not sure about refurbing, hopefully others will chime in.

That’s pretty cool. Do you know anyone who has used one? If so were they happy with it? I ask because my original sender is gone and the aftermarket one in there is garbage.
Cool, thanks.I have not personally used one. Several on here have and it seems to get good results. Search it.
Yep. Sounds like what you need.Cool, thanks.
Interesting. Got a picture of yours? Or of any oem 73 sender to compare? Whar's the differences?that is not a 73 oem sender.looks like a repop.it looks nothing like my 73 orig. unit.
I had mine refurbished by Tri-Starr. Might have been Tri-star radiator. They're on the internet. Can't find my receipt for an address. Did a real nice job, replaced float with a nice used one. Cost was $150.00 . Chinese reproduction was $110. I avoid the chinese if possible.
Yeah as far as I can tell my tank and sender had never been out. One post won't convince me otherwise.The sender did change in later year models ( I forget what year ) and that design is what the aftermarket reproduces and lists for all models. I found that same sender in 73 and 75 Valiants.
