Absolutely correct - in retrospect I wish I would of.

At this point I'm just happy it works and it is all back together so I can enjoy it. Got it cleaned up and ready to driving season this morning after the fill up.

Glad you have it together to drive and enjoy in the mean time. Curiosity...what does the gauge read with the tank full ?
I'm rebuilding the seats for my '66, hoping to have it presentable for shows this summer. Found out the hard way that the GTO buckets I bought as cores 15 years ago are different than Chevelle...who knew. I'd always heard they are all the same seats, not true, Back rest springs are very different.

Reads 3/4 when full, so an adjustment to the float is in order.......

I feel your pain on the seats, just went through this with the seat backs on the 409, Impala is different than Biscayne or BelAir..........which is not what the rest of the world thought when I bought the bench seat........

Picked up the restored gas tank sending unit last week. Will not have a chance to install it as I'm putting the Chevelle away for the season today.

Looks like they sandblast it and apply a clear coating rather than plating it. Took about 3 months to get it done.
