Just be careful when you tighten it. It's possible to strip out the hole in the aluminum head. The PO of my '75 bus had done this and I never did find a reliable way to get the sender to stay in there. After a thousand miles or so the vibration would start to loosen it and I'd get an intermittent misfire when the engine was warm. David Brodbeck, N8SRE '82 Diesel Westfalia '94 Honda Civic Si |
