I believe the fuel level sender in my '46 Super Deluxe was changed out at some point in the cars past. Anyone have any info on this sender, as to its origin? I doubt it is original.

Not sure how long you have been in the Ford V-8 hobby............but back in the day (read 70's and early 80's) considerable amount of reproduction parts came from a place called Argentina. I could suspect that this maybe what you have.

I got my car three years ago, and have done a lot of work to bring it back to original. When I say that, I don't mean on the level that Kube would build a car. When you say Argentina, are you referring to the country or a company?

Industria Argentina (Spanish) translates to Argentina Industry. So it is was most likely manufactured in the county of Argentina. Larry

The sender is a replacement type made in Argentina. It is the variable resister type and not as accurate as the King Seelel unit that came with your car originally. As Bruce said, many replacement parts were made in Argentina and shipped here to keep our hobby cars running. Tom

Aaahh, then China took over! Are KS senders available, or can the resister type be tweaked to get more accurate readings?

KS sending units show up on E-Bay occasionally or at swap meet where a lot of hot rod people are selling. They are also available in the tanks of cars and trucks in the junk yards. Bruce Nelson can give you the years that fit. I know that from 36- 55 the sending units fit the stock tanks, but you may have to modify the arm to make it work in your car. Tom
