Re: gas tank sending unit 48 Custom

From my experience, your best bet is to spend the money and have the original sending unit rebuilt, if possible. The set up I used in my '49 worked for me because I used a '53 Chevy gas tank to replace the rusted original and the GM sender was a bolt-on, won't fit the Packard tank. Also required adding high-watt resisters inline with the gauge to get it to read correctly. Have taken 2 trips, 60 miles and 200 miles and the gauge is reasonably accurate. A rusted out sender and gas tank are common problems for the Series 22 and 23, you'd think someone would make replacements!
