67 Cuda Fuel Sending Unit

Dumb question but can the fuel sending unit be changed without dropping the fuel tank? It looks like the rear end may be too close, I just didn't wan to get into a can of worms. I grounded the sending wire and the gauge works fine, I also cleaned up and replaced the ground strap around the fuel line, so it must be the sending unit.

Yes you can.
Jack the rear up and put jack stands under the fraim rails.
Then lower the jack/rear end.
Now you can get to the sender.

Be careful of sparks when removing the ring.
The use of a brass punch is a good idea,or a sending unit wrench.
Thats it !

Hey thanks a lot, it worked perfect. I did use a brass punch and it came right off. It was a little tight and tricky but better than dropping the tank. I was afraid I'd end up buying a new strap and bolts and who knows what else.
