oops! Don'f feel bad. You're in good company.
Apparently that was the rumor going around.
@Mattax
I have an idea how that started.
I was!

I’ll take some pics of what my father in law made for his knife show days. He made these display cases, flat, maybe 6 inches tall, they opened and closed on hinges so at the end of the day, or whenever he wanted to walk away, he simply flipped them shut and thru a lock on.
Or... make you a rolling cabinet, hinged in the middle that unfolds open to display the dizzys and then closes, make it so you can roll it up into the truck
The car I brought came from Arizona.
Only very very light rust on exposed steel.
So clean I gave the entire exhaust intact to the guy who bought my '68 notch.
But on the drag strip in particular was having a problem losing fuel pressure at the end of the track. Fought the problem for a long time. Changed the sock. Tried different pumps. etc.
In the end I'm convinced it was just enough of a pin hole or rust in the section going over the axle - near the exhaust.
Good thing you found it.
Indirectly and only took about 8 years!
What a headache!
Thanks Mike. Was just pricing from Classic Industries. All in about $250 for lines, sending unit, tank and sock. Sucks it takes a week plus to get here from there though. Going to check with a local guy today first.
BTW, when is your surgery scheduled?
BTW, when is your surgery scheduled?
This coming Thursday. We will leave for Rochester tomorrow afternoon. My first test is Wednesday morning at 6 am. Tests throughout the day and surgery Thursday afternoon.
If you don't have to buy a new sending unit - don't. At least with the older models - the calibration isn't right.
Agree, reuse the original sender or have it rebuilt if it isn't too roached.
Whose lines do they sell? I'd check direct pricing with Inline, Fine Lines...
Same with tank. I doubt there is much savings on shipping for combine order unless the do free ship over $***... Tank is definitely its own package. Lines will ship bent on the long straight parts.
Vans Auto is 30 min from here and he carries a nice stock. Prices are usually pretty fair and may be able to get them faster than a week.
probably still on the truck they had a big tent at Carlisle. Got my trunk lid bumpers there.
Others I checked all wanted to sell me a big 'kit'. 
Very nice!! Yeah, they are in Waupun which is about 30 miles. They stock everything I need (just called them)... the fuel sender, tank, gas cap, 3/8 stainless fuel line from tank to engine and the clips. Now, to see what I need and don't need tonight.
I came home with less goodies than I took out but higher important ones.probably still on the truck they had a big tent at Carlisle. Got my trunk lid bumpers there.
Took a 360 and a 383, short blocks, sold them off prior, took two sets of heads, traded one off for some push button cables. Brought 1 set home that I probably could have traded off for something but didn't see anything worth doing that with. Came home with a racing seat which I have a cool idea for and a freshly, professionally rebuilt set of LCAs for the polara. Oh and the valve covers from Tim.
Speaking of which, @Mopar Tim let me know if you end up stopping in IN otw back, I owe you a few 6 packs.
Colton came home with about 2 dozen hotwheels and a couple bigger toy cars.
ruh roh.... I am gonna be in BIG trouble.
edit, I guess the pictures are going to load....

Goooood Morning.
so, I'm looking at a 64 sport fury I found for sale on facebook. 2500 bucks, big block, console shifted car. Mostly complete. Needs a TON of work. It's one of the 2 cars I'd love to own. But I'm gonna have to pass. Really wanting one with a 383/4spd. I could clone one, yes but....
the guy also has a 64 big block, console shifted Sport Fury Convertible project! 5,000 hmmm

Started raining. My 24x40 tarp shelter is leaking like a sieve.
Ordered a new cover and will be moving building across from shop to park cars in. Framing end walls and putting real doors in as well.
