drive,with a 440 in it.i need a float for the
sending unit in the gas tank.i have called all
the parts houses here in town.grand junction
colorado.they don't have them.the dealer dos'nt

the float must have a tiny pin hole in it.
i filled the tank,and the gauge read 3/4 full.

is there any that will inerchange with it.
will one from a car gas tank fit.

do you have a pic of yours.. i have a few laying around

I believe a Ford float will work.

The ones Chrysler use today are plastic. You can use it too, or order a metal repro from one of the sponsors of this site.

So, instead of asking for a 76 truck float, try asking for a 92 truck float or something like that.

Ford vans used a good plastic float.I pirated a few before when I replace the senders.I believe they were used in the 90s.Fit right on and last.They were avaliable at the dealer for I think under 10 bucks.Rocky

I just go to my local friendly Ford dealer, tell them I need a barrel float for an early car like a 66 Mustang. They give me the brass barrel float just like the Mopar for about $5. ( Note: Wear disguise so no one catches you at Ford dealer ! )

hi folks
i have no pics of it.wanted to get the
float first before i took it apart.
thanks for the info guys.

What did you ask for at FORD? I mean those guys don't go by discription, usually they need vehicle make and model or Part number.

I soldered the leaky float in my sons car, so far so good but.....
