RE: IML: 1959 imperial sending unit

[James Brown <jimmb1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

A new sending unit was made for for my '60 Crown S.H. last year.

 

It was made by

 

J.F. Sullivan Co &.

Atwater Kent

14 Clarendon Road

Auburn  MA  01501

 

Mr. Mike  LaVallee ? current proprietor

Tel. (508) 792-9500

 

 

The mechanic compared the  new and the original

and noed a few slight differences but  overall he thought

the new one was just fine.

 

The big difference was the float - the old one seemed to have

more brass wrapped around the cork and the new one  had less.

 

Also, when the sender was fit into the tank, a second o-ring was

necessary - but maybe that was beecause it was a new replacement

tank too. In the end, everyone lived happily ever after.
