You may have read about my adventures with the ZZ430 in a 73 Nova.

Well I need a stock 3/8 fuel pickup with sending unit for this same car.

Is the 68-69 Camaro unit the same?

There is another place that carries a lot of stuff like that. It seems like the name is classic muscle or something like that??? I have a catalog around here somewhere...I have ordered all kinds of stuff from them in the past and been very happy with them...just can't remember the name. As soon as I find it I'll let you know.

Maybe this? The '73 fuel senders have been discontinued, but later models "can be modified" to work.

Classic Muscle:

Everybody in the world has them for Novas up to '72, then nothing until '77 or later. Seems the '73-'75 Novas have been forgotten. :confused:

The link posted above.... http://1962-79chevynovaparts.com is what I was refering to. I can't seem to find my catalog anywhere :confused: I have had great luck dealing with them...they carry a LOT of stuff for the seemingly forgotten post '72 nova's.

You know you could just modify the one you have if the level sensor is OK. Just drill a hole and run larger line through the top of the old pick-up/sender.

You'd have to have the new line brazed in though (radiator shop maybe) or sealed up some other way . . .

Just an idea.
