Gas tank has been removed and cleaned. Lots of rust. Removed sending unit and learned why the gas gauge wasn't working......See attached photo. The new sending unit I ordered online is coming today but looks nothing like this photo. This is what I ordered...

Looks like the PO either modified it or used some type of aftermarket without a float. Oh well.

Hopefully today after work I can get everything back together, put on the new fuel pump, and fire this bad boy up. I'll keep everyone updated. Thanks again for the tips.
