Need help finding parts.

I would check online to sites such as autobody101 or similar blogs that you can glean information from people that are in the trade. I wouldn't jump into it head first unless you have a sense of direction. It always helps to have a friend, or family member that has experience doing bodywork.
I believe there are even books that can give you some direction. Another thought...check out your local community college to see if they offer courses in autobody repair. I think that would get my vote.
In either case, you have to start somewhere.

Thank you very much for all this information, Sir. I will check out my local college and on the weekend I'll ask some of the folks and the car show..

I thought I was having problem with a new sender last year and it turned out to be the aluminum pink wire so I ran a new pink wire from the tank to the gauge and it's accurate

Hmm .... I'll be looking at my wire. I remember that the connector near the tank, between the wire running to the gauge and the wire running to the sender, struck me as problem-prone. I had trouble convincing myself that it was well plugged together.

Umm, right? Right? 😀

I'll agree to that.......😵

Electrical systems have never been my strong suit, along with a closet full of other areas, so I solicit the possibility that my comments may be confused or off the track somewhere.

You mean prime it after sanding, right? I'm located in Canada, B.C, Penticton.



My friend and I tried looking everywhere around town and we thought about trying to repair it ourselves but I ended up bringing to Crappy Tire. The technician there fixed the Unit and found a new cluster for free for me. I just got my wagoon back today. they really dinged me hard but man I could'nt figure it out. I'll go back and ask him how he did it though.

that surprises me that a technician at CT fixed something instead of just changing parts...

My wagon has now been sitting in my driveway for about 4 months. Forgot to update that the fuel sending unit was not 100% fixed ( should of listened to my friends) it read better than before but goes haywire after half tank & also now stalls, when I accelerate? Vaccum leak I assume? wasn't like that before.
