I just looked at this and wonder if a Champagne cork would work, at
least you could have fun getting the part

Subject: Fwd: Re: Fuel gauge trouble
My float filled up a while back and it went fast.
I knew the tank was full, but overnight the gauge
read empty - all or nothing. A leak would have to
be pretty tiny to slow to cause a 1/4 difference.
But definitely possible.
The hollow plastic float is exactly the same size
as the cork float sold for my other old car -
1929 Chevrolet. I just pulled off the plastic one
and put on the cork. Didn't even have to fasten
it and it's worked fine for ages. You can get
them from the filling station for $7.50 per pair:
