Time to replace the float. I figured it was probably fairly easy to fix the original, but since it was a bit jumpy even when it was working I decided total replacement would be the more prudent choice.
Guaranteed this has never been touched.
All in all it took me about 15 minutes to do the whole job.
Well here's yer problem! I might solder it up and test it at some point but I have the new one to go in. Unlike this one it has a tube around it that I assume helps keep the fuel level more accurate.
All buttoned up for another 45 years hopefully.
Rock solid reading, no age-related shakes. Nice.

Which unit did you put in? Porsche brand or one of the aftermarket’s?
I have been thinking of doing the same due to my gauge sticking but was trying to figure out which one to buy.
