A friend of mine with this car....



Bought the belts that I showed a couple posts back. He is going to install them in the Dodge along with tie down loops like new cars have. He drives his grandkids to school sometimes and wants to be able to tether the safety seats.
More to come...

Unfortunately most aftermarket parts are not as good as Ma Mopar . Most parts you can make work with a bit of work. The fuel sender issue can fixed if you have the skill using a N.O.S. sender from a different model car like a c body as a doner. They are on E bay from time to time. Find one that the rheostat looks the same. Cut the ground strap at different lengths on the new one and the old one. Remove the sender from the pipe on both the old and new units. Then you will need to tac weld the new sender to the old unit.  You might need to modify the float arm. Then solder the two ground straps. Yes its a lot of work but if you do it right it will out last you.

Hence why I said it could be on the old board we had before 2007, not on this really.

But being an old post, still on this "new" board, mostly sure attachments are not uploading

Tony's logic on how these cars were made to flex is like saying that prisons are meant to result in some men having unwanted butt sex.
Neither are intended but it happens.
A reinforced platform will allow the springs to be more effective since now the rigid frame is not acting like a spring itself.

I did a search and came up with nothing. I wrote about this at FBBO and someone mentioned the thread that was here. If I scrolled though this section of the forum I may be able to find it.

The sweep inside the factory unit is hour glass shaped and repops have a even strip. That along with the odd shape and angle of the tank creates complex issues. I used a "Meter Minder" to somewhat correct my gauge.

I Read this after my last posts LOL

The linear and logarithmic reading difference on senders reading is because originals rheostats are like this:



While repro/replacements are like this
