If Flackmaster or the usual vendors cannot help with used or NOS you might try KM Lifestylemykmlifestyle.com/KM_Lifestyle_Fuel_Senders.html and see if they can help. They carry some original senders and have made a repro for other years that seem to be satisfactory.

G'day Stephen,
 to PackardInfo. Good to see another Aussie "on board".Are you a member of the Packard Automobile Club in Australia? Should be at least one member of the club who may be able to help. And I invite you to include your '36 120B in the Packard Vehicle Registry.

Thanks Mal.
Yes, I'm a Packard Australia member. I spoke to the Canberra oracle and he suggested I post here. I had the tank cleaned for the Bathurst rally in May so I got a few months to sort this problem out. Stephen Guest

Ah Stephen,
Maybe a better contact in this instance, for the part you require, is Fred Dosser. Fred's contact details are in the PACA Member Registry. Don't want you missing out on attending the Bathurst Rally!

When I saw your Packard back in 2011 I took photos, a couple of which I've shown here for everyones enjoyment. As well, there's a photo you supplied at that time of what it looked like prior to restoration.

That picture on the mudflat gives me nightmares. What was my father thinking? We've been doing a bit more work, it's starting to look good and drive well. Now, if we can just get a fuel tank sender... Attach file: IMG20210211195044.jpg (251.36 KB)

The collector car hobby is surely alive and well "down under". The Caddie guys often post from there also.
One guy was looking for a part I had obtained from NZ (to US) and he couldn't believe would be one in Aussie land. So don't overlook the obvious. Small world sometimes. I don't do pre-war, but would be having a curt conversation with whomever disappeared that part and making them cough one up. But I'm mean sometimes...and give bad advice?

The shop guy said he gave it too me and that was the end of the conversation. Anyway, all good, I'm talking to lifestyle and hopefully I'll be able to tell how much fuel I've got in the tank when it arrives!
