IML: Gas tank refurbing

["Chris \"creesto\" Lynch" <creesto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all. My mechanic has dropped my tank and sent it in for  
reconditioning. It had a bunch of sediment in the bottom, as well as  
a crappy patch job on the underside that started to leak again. He  
also says that my fuel sending unit needs replaced.

I purchased the recommended F*rd replacment float, but he says the  
float is fine. So I have two questions:
1. Is it possible he is wrong? He is an excellent mechanic with some  
Mopar experience, but we all miss things.
2. If it does need replaced, is there an alternative I can use from  
another year/model/make? Or does someone have one that works? This  
car is gearing up to be my daily driver, so pristine show machine is  
not what I'm shooting for. Budget is a big consideration for me.

BTW, its a 1966 Imperial Crown Coupe.

Thanks!
