Question
I have a 1931 ford model a vicky. It was built in 1982 and i don't know what tank i have, only that its a 14 gal tank. If I find that i need a sending what do i look for? The gauge is all the way to the full mark. It started the other day by moving around and then went to full and has not moved. The tank is behind the back seat and the crowl has been modified.

Answer
I think you may have accidentally selected the wrong category for the question you are asking...but in an attempt to try to help you,  at the bottom of my response, I have a suggestion that might help you.  

For starters,  I have volunteered to answer questions that relate to “Automotive Wooden Interior Trim” - specifically the “Real” wood trim parts found in Jaguars, Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, Bentleys, BMWs, Jensen Healeys, Austin Healeys, Triumphs - etc. etc. etc.

I do appreciate you asking me a question, however that is NOT in my area expertise.

Should you or any of your fellow automotive enthusiasts have interior wood trim in their vehicles....and IF that wood is having trouble.....I can help.

Thank you.

For what it is worth, I would think that you might want to search for a classic/vintage car club in your area.  Many folks in clubs are very helpful people and may be able to help you find your answer...making a friend or two in that "world" would be very helpful, especially if you are going to do mechanical work yourself.  Who knows, maybe one of those folks has had the same problem or can assist you personally with the answer to your question.

(I would appreciate you taking the time to Rate my response....thanks)
