[TR] Fuel Gauge

[dave n]

that float is from an early mustang.  it is actually hollow brass, not solid (that would not float) and a drop in replacement.

Terry,
While I am reluctant to offer advice when you have the Randalls of the world speaking up, I would suggest that you consider one other issue.  While I am not familiar with the TR3A fuel sender, I had a somewhat similar problem with a TR6 and the problem turned out to be a leaking float on the sending unit.  A crack in the float can allow it to do funny things at different angles.  Just something to check.  I replaced the nylon (or whatever the material was) float with a solid one from an old Ford and I can almost guarantee that no concours judge will ever know the difference.  Good luck.
