Heck yeah! I may buy one myself. I have about a dozen cores for rebuild so I'm not hurting, but the original material is better than what we get now. Ray

Dude I would go for it. I have dealt with this guy on some Type 4 gas guage sending units. He ships out fast and both units I bought from him were pristene. Ask about his sending units, says he has a whole case of them! :shock:

Oh, the clutch parts, not the fuel sending units. Do the fuel sending units go bad often?

Rarely go bad. But when they do...they can be hard to find. Several use the same basic unit. Start with a good one, keep the tank full and keep the water out of the tank....and you will be fine. Ray

I had the original that was in my car, it was bad, yanked one out of a parts car, it was bad. So I bought 2 one to use and one as a spare.

EDIT:: Plus when the car you bought has a sending unit thats been sitting in a half a tank full of Laquer and water........
