7. To install the float assembly, loosen screw “h’’, remove the short piece of rod, and discard. Insert the
float rod until the proper length “c’’ from Table 1 is met, and then tighten the screw securely. Carefully
cut off any excess rod with bolt cutter or similar tool, taking care not to damage the assembly.
NOTE: Make sure the float is installed toward the side marked “FLOAT SIDE”. If installed
backwards, the fuel gauge will indicate “full’’ when the tank is empty, and “empty’’ when the
tank is full.
8. Cut the bracket (g or f) so it doesn’t extend lower than the black rheostat assembly. The rheostat
should be the lowest point of the fuel sender.
9. With the gasket in place below the flange, carefully feed the float arm and sender body into the 1.697’’
(43mm) hole in the tank. Make certain the float arm has free motion within the tank. Using the sender
flange as a template, locate the position of the five mounting holes. Use the supplied screws to mount
into the tank with threaded inserts in place.
10. Insert fuel sender assembly into tank, align holes and thread in mounting screws. Check that all screws
are secure to complete assembly. If the float is obstructed inside the tank loosen the large nut on the
center terminal and rotate the rheostat assembly.
11. Connect the center terminal of the sender to your fuel gauge’s signal terminal. Connect the off-center
terminal to a good chassis ground.
Fuel Pump Installation:
Follow the installation instructions included with the supplied fuel pump. Your fuel tank comes predrilled
with the correct sized hole for the fuel pump so this step in the installation process may be skipped.
NOTE: If installing an electric fuel pump on a carbureted engine remember to purchase a fuel pump
block off plate and eliminate the OEM mechanical fuel pump on the engine block.
