I got mine here: http://www.vickauto.com/

You should download their catalog. It's very helpful and you'll find the folks there very helpful, too.

right you are......unless, like me your trouble turns out to be something else. then you end up with a "just fine" fuel sender in your spares box. Best of luck.

Might I inquire why you are replacing yours?

I've checked all connections and it did work several months back but had a weird problem for 1 day it would almost rev like the tacho then it finally hit the empty and stayed there.

I've read this is a common occurance and "98% of the time" a new sender fixes the problemo.

thought I'd give it a go, plus it was about time I opened an account with vicks.

damn but the chrome bezel's are backordered...........

FWIW - those chrome bezel covers ...

i received a set as a gift from my wife. She actually ventured out and purchased something for a Fiat that was not specificially requested one year for christmas.

kinda hard to not install something that is a gift. even harder to uninstall something that is a gift.

those chrome bezels can make the dashboard awfully difficult to see when the sun is low on the horizon behind you when the top is down.

if i could, i would remove the chrome rings from my gauges.

let's hope she doesn't visit the forum, or you may be sleeping with the Fiats :(

Mike...fake enthusiasm and sunglasses work better than having your wife pissed at you. Better keep them in and mention how much you like them every once in a while.

well, in the same box came a Nardi steering wheel, and an IAP shop manual. I remind myself all the time about the total package, not just some of it.

and this was just a warning to Jazgeek, all that glitters is not gold. some things that glitter are downright annoying.

sleeping with the fiats would be a pleasure, after sleeping with the Triumph. Danno, come get yer car
