I am trying to find a sending unit for a 1949 B!B. On Ebay I have found a bunch of units which are for the car side, but the seller claims they are not for trucks (or station wagons). I can't see any difference by just looking at the photos. But they have several different units, which appear identical, but for different year ranges (and prices). I asked "what is the difference in the units, and why don't they believe they won't work on a truck?". The reply was "how long is your arm"?. Despite the obvious pun, I wonder if anyone on the forum has a measurement for the "arm" on the sending unit for a B1B pickup? I really don't want to take out the seat and remove the floor and the unit, just to get a measurement. OK, so I am lazy , but when I do remove it, I will make an "access hole" so I at least don't have to remove the entire floor next time. The woody does not have a nice neat access hole in a metal floor. The floor is made of wood and I will have to cur a hole. Or drop the tank (no!)

Just purchased the Sunpro CP7583 Fuel Level Sender unit to replace the previous aftermarket one I had that was failing. It, to, was a Sunpro. Anyway, went to test it (connected it tightly and grounded it) and the reading wasn't a precise as it was with the one before it. When I moved the float to 1/2, it registered a little below 1/2 on the gauge. When I moved it to full, it registered almost full on the gauge. When I moved it to empty, it registered 1/4 on the gauge. I thought that it was going to be an easy "hook up and go," but it doesn't seem that way. I don't have an Ohm meter with me, but I'm not sure if testing ohms would matter in this case or not. Anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this and what troubleshooting can I do to make the reading accurate? How would I calibrate a unit like this? http://www.amazon.com/Sunpro-CP7583-Fuel-Level-Sender/dp/B00029JXMU
