Seems I may need a Fuel Tank Sender? Hopefully I can figure it out this weekend? Anyone have a one sitting on there shelf? Before I go to the One of Vendors or the Internet?

Wilkinson had them reproduced, which I think brought the price down to a more palatable $240.
It may be able to be fixed rather easily. I recently tested mine, and found an open circuit. It was caused by the rivet that attaches the wire (on the underside) to the spade connector (on top). I supported the rivet on the underside, and gave it a smack with a punch from above - problem solved. Worth a try.
Well, pulled the sending unit out and found the Float Full of Fuel and the wires to the sender were switched. My friend had a extra Sending unit so I put the good float on, put it back together and so far all is good!
Now...does anyone have a part number for just the Float? Fiat or Alfa?

I use a piece of cork, from a sanding block.

Thanks to all that replied.
Turns out the Float was full of Fuel, and the Wires were crossed. Got a new float, reinstalled the Sender, put the wires the correct way and the Gauge Works!

I installed the VDO racing fuel sender and the vdo gauge.
