I've got a 72 custom deluxe that is having fuel issues. It is starving at higher RPM(4k+)and will sometimes die when I stop at a light or stop sign. I guess it might be because the truck was parked for almost 15 years. I have already replaced the filter and plan to change the fuel pump as well. But when I pulled the fuel sender/pickup from the tank to check the sock/filter the float was completely disintegrated.
I see that LMC has the float but I'd prefer not to buy it from them. Does anybody have any suggestions on who else has a float or a number for something else that will work?
