  My '56 New Yorker has a cork float. Probably the last year.

  If I remember rightly, while working and changing the fuek tank on my 
  '55 C300 and installing an excellent one from a '55 Windsor, the 
  sending unit had a 90 deg. bend at the end of the arm/rod.

  That 90 deg. end went thru the center, legthways, of the cork float. 
  There was a "hat" type retiner on the end of the rod that held the cork 
  float in place.

  As many of the members responding to the question, I wonder how 
  anyone can apply a brass float to the the '55 arm as I wonder as to how 
  many have actually seen a '55 sending unit. I guess it could be done 
  with great effort and hope that during the proceedure, the arm does not 
  break. I would maybe go to some store like Pier 1 to find a chunk of 
  decoration cork. (Or saving some cork stoppers that come out of your 
  favorite table wine and glue them togeather).

  I do remember years ago ('57-'58), the sending unit in my '55 
  Imperial went bad. The cork float was soggy. There was no replacement 
  float. I had to buy the complete sending unit for around $8.00 or so at 
  the dealer. I do remember that the new cork float was "raw". The old 
  cork had, what looked like, a laquer coating. Guess that was from the 
  gasoline. The '55 C300 cork float looked like it had a "coating" on it 
  also, plus smelled very, very bad.

  I'm not completely sure, but I think that 1956 may have been the last 
  year of the cork float. Sometime, I'll have to take a look at the '56 
  300B and the '56 N.Yer. in the back field to see what they have. I know 
  my '57 300C and other 300s have brass floats along with my other cars 
  into the late '70s.

  Here's an off the wall suggestion given to me by an antique parts 
  dealer.

  He uses carburator floats from model A Ford as fuel sender floats and 
  has for

  years. They have an indent in the middle sort of like a figure eight 
  that

  the float wire can wrap around. No body will ever know that there is 
  a Ford in

  your tank.
