Put in a new two wire guage, it shows just under 1/4 full when there is only just over a gallon or so left. Last time I filled it the gauge was still showing 1/4 tank. It took 15.5 gallons to fill. Considering a 17 gallons capacity, quarter tank should be just over 4 gallons. So do I bend the float arm up or down? Seems I should bend it so the float is higher so it will drop further nearing empty.

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!)
