Fuel gauge stuck...
...in my 1969 Executive. It'* used to work fine, but has been stuck at about 7/8 tank for a couple years. Occasionally it will pop up to the 'Full' mark, then drop back down to 7/8. I know the sending unit in the gas tank is a likely suspect, I've just never wanted to drop the tank (in case there is an easier solution). Any ideas?

Suggestions on where to find the sending unit for my '69 Exec? I know Ames Performance is big on classic parts, but I couldn't find anything on their web catalog. Thanks in advance -

My 1971 LTD did the same thing and what i found out was that the float in side the tank had a pin hole in it and would fill with gas part way and stay at a certin level. Mine was and easy fix i just took it out and sodered the hole shut and all was good( the float was made of brass) i would see if you could check that first before buying a whole new unit
