A friend of mine is rebuilding a 1970 Coronet and is looking to put in a 1/2" sending unit and fuel lines. Does anyone know who sells these? Looks like Summit only has 3/8 and 5/16.

Thanks

Roseville has them. Contact Dave.

Rockauto lists them too!

That is amazing! When I replaced the pickup and sending unit in my '64 Polara years ago all you could buy at the time were the stock 5/16" versions. I made mine by bending up some 3/8" tubing and I thought that was an upgrade!!

I checked both of those sources and it is true...I thought it was a misprint when I read this thread.

...DANGIT MAN!! im not even gunna tell ya what i just paid for one from MANCINI.

Did you also use 1/2" fuel lines? If so, where did you get yours?

Are these the ones that bad sending units?

Probably. I've had a Herb's, Van's, and one other "brand" that I don't remember. All have read incorrectly. I tried several different gas gauges as well, eliminating those as the issues. It's definitely the newer sending units.

I make my own, I picked up about 15 20 foot long pieces from a freight salvage place, paid $7 per stick, it was real parker tubing, some were a little bent but easily made into fuel lines. I also got the parker beading tool, it puts the little bulb on the end of the tube for a hose and clamp. Tim

What Dobie said, from postings here incorrect reading units are epidemic (worst of any part I have ever heard of) so do your homework so you dont get burnt

When I built mine (3/8") I swedged and soldered the tubing in place and the heat baked the sending unit so it would not work

So I went down to a local shop that sold Mustang parts and found an identical sending unit that fit a '67 Mustang and strapped it to the tubing with zip ties. I put on a new sock and everything worked just fine in the '64 Polara.
