Elite Veteran Posts: 943 | What are my options for a sending unit, this is for a '57 Dodge wagon but I know they are the same for 57-59 wagons. Are there places that rebuild them? | ||

PN for the 57-59 wagon fuel lever sender is 1842 756. Hiltop has a couple of NOS options (not cheap): https://www.hiltopautoparts.com/product/nos-mopar-fuel-tank-sending-... https://www.hiltopautoparts.com/product/nos-mopar-fuel-tank-sending-...

Are there places that rebuild them? Did you take it apart to look at it? Just last year I repaired a sending unit for a 1967 Chrysler Newport. There was a tiny rivet , 1/16" i believe, that corroded off that was holding the part that determines the resistance. I replaced it with a tiny nut and bolt and it worked just fine. I also lightly polished the resistance part to have good contact. I know I was probably very lucky that it was a simple repair but I was ready to look for a place to repair it then thought I couldn't break it anymore than what it was so I decided to look into what was wrong. | ||

Expert Posts: 3777 Location: NorCal | Have you determined that it's actually the fuel sender? My '57 gauge was inop but ohm meter readings at the sender are correct. (you can access the sender through a removable cover in the left rear wheel well) Turned out to be the gauge, a light tap on the gauge brings it to life. I now carry a small jeweler's hammer under the seat. Edited by 57chizler 2021-02-25 1:01 PM | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 943 | I did determine it was the sending unit a while back. I haven't taken it out yet, that's the next step. So I can pull it without pulling the tank, it just comes out that access hole? | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 580 | FINS! - 2021-03-04 1:17 PM Do I have to pull the tank to pull the sending unit? There is a removable panel in the rear tire wheel well but I don't know If you could remove the sending unit thru it. The tank is not too hard to remove. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 943 | Just to confirm, for other people doing it, you can pull the sending unit without pulling the tank, there's a little round access hold (at least on 57-58 Dodges) in the wheel well | ||
