1974 Cuda tank sending unit leak

[steelcuda]

So just got off the phone with John at Roseville Moparts.  What a guy.  Totally walked me through what to order.  Thank you all for the recommendations.  Here's what I got:

Products
1 x   Fuel Tank Sending Unit 70-74 E-Body w/SM & Big Block w/ 5/16" Si   $50.00
1 x   Ground Strap For Fuel Tank Sending Unit 7 inch   $5.00
2 x   Fuel tank sending unit Seal   $6.00
1 x   Fuel Tank Sending Unit Locking Ring-Stainless   $13.50
1 x   Fuel Sending Unit Locking Ring Installation Tool

Bought a couple of the seals just in case one gets jacked up during the install.  He gave me 10% off as a forum member!

What do you all think?

I think Roseville is the best ! Only way it could get better would be if Jon would come over and install it for you too

I'll second that - great experience with Roseville!

FYI:

1) There's no issue with using your original locking ring. They are thicker than most aftermarket ones. If your aftermarket one is thinner, consider using your original one. Next time, I'd recommend not buying a locking ring if yours is in good shape. It may be that someone put an aftermarket locking ring on there, so that would be the first candidate to replace with a proper thicker one.

2) You can get lucky on eBay buying a NOS fuel sending unit. That's what I did and it reads accurately and is reliable. Just plug in a filter on it and go!

3) AMD gas tanks are fantastic re-pros, in case you're looking for some tank options. When you pull your tank, make sure to check inside to make sure it's a new tank. Not worth using a tank that has a bunch of crud. Check to see that the tank has the padding glued onto the top of it as well.

4) Locking ring installation tools I guess are nice, but a punch and a hammer works really well and can help you save cost on something you'd probably be doing once. If the tool was cheap, no loss.

5) Looks like you are missing a grommet for the sending unit wire. May want to pick one up. If you're really picky, the stock clamps were the crimp-style.

   And most important, make sure your tank is near empty.
