I appreciate your help, Gary, and I didn't mention that it's a 70 1600.
It's a 70 1600. ;^) Your reply prompted me to check the rallye site
and it helped me determine that the tiny tee-ninecey threads on the
sending unit probably are stripped, and that might be the problem. Mike
Harper helped with some sources ind interchangeability ideas. Thanks to
the list I think I'm in good shape. Thanks everybody, keep it coming :^)
-Roadster on!
