1936 with drake sender. Have adjusted float so that it is sort of accurate at idle. Then while driving goes up to full. it has the dual oil gas gauge. Unit is grounded , full continuity on new wiring from sender to gauge. Any thoughts on why reading higher when driving?

My bad, yes a two post lift

Curious as to what all think are the best lift points on a 36 model 68 with a modern two point lift.

Thank you Jay, that is exactly what I needed to know. Now off to see what is what! Mike

Jay, on which end of the circut of the sender wire do you directly touch to ground? Is it leave sender wire connect to sender and then touch gauge end to a ground? or jump from ground at sender unit to sending terminal? hope this makes sense. Mike

1936, still 6 volt, new fuel tank and sending unit. Continuity exists between tank and gauge. will grounding sending unit to metal floor of car be enough ( which I did) however unit still not reading. Should i move it to a heavier gauge ground source?

got it! I got another turn or so and that did the trick. I got concerned with the "don't over tighten" issue, which I agree with , however still had to get it pretty tight to seal. thanks all for the response!

I've read all the posts on the ferrule and about not overtightening. New nut and ferrule , all good with only 5 gallons in it. then with 10 gallons , leaks around the line itself from the fitting. appears the onion is not set. have tightened slowly tested, leak, repeated. still showing threads...

thank you Kube, I'll get my buckets ready and pull em off and give it a shot!

just put on two new water pumps with gaskets that came with them. 3 hole mount on each and tough to get wrench on that bottom one. Put all on filled up and both leaking from around that bottom bolt area. Any ideas , pull off and put some type of sealant around the gaskets? could I have...

Does anyone know the thread and size of the screws for a 1936 fordor battery cover?

This on a 1936 model 68. Aside from all the pro's cons of the brake board approach, I did use one adusted all as described, however when i removed the board after the "third" step adjustment, the rears were still locked. I am assuming the problem is the rod length and I should "shorten" the...

thanks all!!

it's on a 1936 Fordor

how does one re use those under dash metal (lead?)connectors that connect the throttle rod in dash to rod from carb?
