    Removing fuel sending unit

    2+2GT - I never knew about the adjustment holes on the back of the gauge. I've scoured the archives of this forum and the internet in general on this subject and never came accross this method. They all talk about bending the float arm lower to get the gauge to read higher. This will...

    Removing fuel sending unit

    Put one lead of your ohm meter on the terminal that the gauge wire goes on and the other lead on the part of the sending unit that would contact the tank if it were installed. Move the float arm slowly through its range of travel and you'll see different resistance readings on your ohm meter...

    Removing fuel sending unit

    My sending unit/gauge reads just like yours does. A few weeks ago I drained the tank and tested the sending unit with the ohm meter and it read close to the previous post (09-76) . I bent the sending unit arm until the gauge read full when the sending unit was forced to full, and read empty...

    Rochester, NY Mustang club???

    There's a Mustang Club in Holley NY. I'm an East-Sider (Ontario) so I can't go there. :) I'm a member of the Syracuse Shelby Mustang Club. I try to get out once a week during the summer in my '67 Fastback. I've been to the Log Cabin, Grankofski's (on 104), Sammy's Ice Cream, Marion Car Show...

    Adjust Fuel Sending Unit?

    It's not a problem draining the tank but it's full up into the neck. I don't have enough empty gas cans to take all that gas. Plus, it'll be more fun to drive it to empty! Rather than you going to the trouble of mailing your old sending unit, I think I'll try to get the specs on the early vs...

    Adjust Fuel Sending Unit?

    I'll have to look back at my invoices to see which sending unit I ordered. It's possible I was sent the wrong unit. I'm going to do as you suggested and bend the arm further down to try to compensate for the the "slop" I now have. Of course, I need to burn through the full tank of gas I now...

    Adjust Fuel Sending Unit?

    And now, the rest of the story...yesterday I drove the car until I was on E. This afternoon I put it on jackstands, drained the tank which had just over 4 gallons. Mind you, the gauge was on E. I pulled the sending unit, checked the range of travel with an ohm meter. .09 @ full, .76 @ empty...

    Adjust Fuel Sending Unit?

    Thanks for the idea, but it's a 16 gal tank. I've been searching the net this morning and based on some pics posed in the "How To" section of Mustang Monthly's site, I think I may have the sender in the wrong position. On their site, the stem looks to be in the 6:30 position, while mine is in...

    Adjust Fuel Sending Unit?

    I'll check that tomorrow when I pull it out of the tank. I think I have a new gasket; one came with the sending unit and I bought an extra. I read in the archives that you can bend the float arm to "dial it in". If there's no gas in the float, I will try bending.

    Adjust Fuel Sending Unit?

    I've searched the forums and did the preliminary troubleshooting. My fuel gauge only goes to between 1/2 - 3/4 when the tank is full. The gauge moves toward E as I drive but I never know how much gas is left in the tank and it makes me nervous. The tank and sending unit are new. The gauge...

    Post-stripping rust prevention

    I stripped my car in 1995 and wiped it with Dupont Quik-Prep. It's a blue liquid. The car sat in the garage for 6 years, bare metal, never rusted. I recommend it.

    '67 Driveshaft C-4 Question

    OK, thanks. I thought it went that way as both the front yoke and solid end have a lot more grease and grime than the open end so they looked like they had been together in the past. I appreciate the response.

    '67 Driveshaft C-4 Question

    Does the welded (solid) end go toward the front or back? The front yoke and u-joints were removed years ago and I can't remember which end is front or rear. It's the two-piece variety- one end welded solid, the other end is "open". Thank you in advance for clarification.

    Gas in Intake

    I think it happened before I pulled it off. The gasket between the intake and spacer was soaked and stuck to the intake. It had only been on for about 3 weeks. The accelerator pump almost seems to "dump" gas rather than "spray" gas. That might be my problem. Or the fact that I may have...

    1966 2V 4SPD

    It looks great! Is the silver the original color (Silver Frost)? I have a '67 Silver Frost fastback. I love the color.

    Gas in Intake

    Thanks for the reply. I'll be putting the carb back before this weekend and after a while I'll pull it back off to see if there's gas there again.

    Gas in Intake

    When I removed my carb (2100 2V), the recess on the left side of the intake was full of gas. It doesn't go anywhere as far as I can tell but I don't think it should have been full of gas. I just fired this engine for the first time a few weeks ago. I rebuilt the carb about a year and a half...

    Why did they include...?

    I also have the cap with the hose attachment. I thought it was to connect to the air cleaner, not the PCV. How do you have yours hooked up? I haven't gotten that far on mine yet. It seems like it will accept a 3/8" ID hose but the fitting on my air cleaner is 5/8". Trying to figure out what...

    Cam Lube/Valve Adj

    Thanks for all the good info. This is the first time I'vew been on since my original post. My neighbor, the Ford Mech and Ford Racer came over Friday evening and showed me what he does during valve adj. We backed all the rockers off, started at #1 TDC then started the adj procedure as...

    Cam Lube/Valve Adj

    Last Saturday I began my engine assembly. Stock 289 rebuild. I'm using a Comp Cams flat tappet (bought it in 1995). The lube packet that came with it was a red, viscus liquid, instead of a grease consistancy that I remember from many years ago. I'm nervous that this lube has already fallen...
