    Another car show today!
    Unfortunately the Ranchero didn't make it all the way home under its own power. Had a friend come help that wasn't too far and ended up flat towing it back..a plugged fuel filter was the issue. I guess the car wants more attention!

    The gas tank is one of the first things I got for my Ford. The old one must have been plugged up for years, the brass float turned to powder when I took the sending unit out.

    I just saw this thread for the first time. You're doing a great job saving that 'chero!! It won't be long until you're doing the 500 milers like I did this weekend. I assume you are aware of www.57fordsforever.com
