Larry, I am interested in getting one to replace the one on my '73 that is
intermittent. What sealant do you use after you replace it ?
Do you also have an AC compressor ?

Larry, I am interested in getting one to replace the one on my '73 that
is intermittent. What sealant do you use after you replace it ?
Do you also have an AC compressor ?

You have to wrangle a bit and hold your tongue to the right side of
your cheek, but it will fit in your tank by just removing the LH
engine shield over the tank.

Mike,
Shop around for a new sender. Old ones are not practically
repairable. Different Pantera vendors value then wildly with a 50%
price differential.
The new ones are for L models and have an integral fuel pickup which
is a better design anyway. Abandon the in-tank pickup and live
happily ever after. :)
