Gas Tank Sending Unit - 1949 Hudson Commodore

[Deleted User]

I've been trying to replace the sending unit in my Hudson. So far the guys I've bought them through have sent me units for 50's era Fords. The holes dont line up. Now I dont mind drilling some holes, but does anyone out there have a NOS unit, or know of a unit that fits better? Thanks, Rick

PAULARGETYPE - how much are the sending units and how does one get in touch with you for ordering?

I think the Ford unit you have will work, but you need to bend the wire that the float is connected to. The sending unit will only go on one way.
