RE: IML: Imperial incident (stuck float)

["JAY D'ANGELO" <cadij@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What's with these simple mechanical devices?  My 64 convertible did/does the 
same.  Fill it up and the gauge would only go to 3/4, sometimes slightly 
above.  Checked the gauge, it is fine.  Paid $225 for a new sending unit 
from a Chrysler parts guy In Temecula (the sending unit was specific for 
Imperial), put it in and - same thing - no difference.

Started reading about grounding the gas tank - the tank was nicely painted 
as well as the straps - so, I ran a ground wire from the frame to the 
sending unit tang that sticks out next to the fuel line.

Bang!  Same thing - won't show full.  Now what?  Actually, it doesn't really 
matter anymore.  The car sucks up the gasoline so quickly, that it would 
never be on the full mark for more than ten minutes, anyway.
