Gas leaking from sending unit

[SierraJoe]

I need help with a part number for the 36 gallon gasoline tank on my 1977 Clipper. It's leaking at the base of where the gas line connects to.the sending unit. Any info would be very much appreciated. Napa could not find the part but suggested having someone solder the connection if we can't find a part number. I'm hoping someone on the forums can come up with the part number.

No idea on the part number.  But this guy can rebuild your old sending unit no matter the condition.

Thanks for the link, I decided to have the leaky connection soldered by a mechanic friend of mine. My gas and water temp gauges are dead on my dash, so probably during the winter I will repair all at once since the sending unit is pretty easy to remove. I plan on installing a aftermarket temp gauge as I don't like driving around not knowing how hot the engine's running. I'm slowly getting everything back up and running. Yesterday I got the house battery working, it turned out to be a missing Buss fuse. I think the previous owner blew the fuse because the battery connections were labeled incorrectly. I wasn't quite sure of the size of the fuse so I made an educated guess. This afternoon I'm going to move the house battery over to the generator compartment as my house battery is too big for the battery compartment and I don't want it to fall out when I turn a corner on the road.

Fuel leak is now fixed! I wasn't happy with the solder job so I took the fuel sending unit to a radiator shop to be soldered and was very happy with the results. I moved the battery back to the battery compartment after I remembered that batteries produce hydrogen gas and it was not a good idea to have it next to the convertor and fuses.  Today I got the hot water heater working after cleaning up the connections. I replaced the safety pressure valve thinking a 42 year old pressure valve was probably not very safe. Tires are ordered and will be in next Monday. I'm very pleased with how things are going and will hopefully take the Clipper out in the next couple of weeks.
