<DIV>My grandson and I are just beginning work on my 1969 Corvair that has not
been out of the shadow of my garage since I purchased it in 1991. I have
started it periodically since buying it, but have not gotten serious about
putting it in excellent mechanical condition until now. The interior of
the vehicle is like new, and there is very little rust anywhere on the
vehicle. The fuel system needs to be cleaned up, the wheel brake cylinders
replaced, and some (hopefully) minor adjustments to the engine. I have
owned one or more Corvairs since 1970 when I bought a 1969 because the crank
shaft in my new Pontiac suddenly broke and I desperately needed a vehicle.
I put about 100,000 miles on the vehicle, and gave it to one of my sons to take
to college. He drove it for about three years, had a really sharp paint
job done (silver over black) and sold the vehicle for more than I paid for
it. All of my sons have driven Corvairs, and one son is still driving a
1967 with a sunroof that has been in the family for about 35 years.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In my younger days I did lots of work on Corvairs, and have accumulated
several tools that make the various jobs considerably easier, cleaner, and less
frustrating. Now that I am older I need to make the job as easy and worry
free as possible. I generally buy or borrow a special tool to get a job
done. This brings me to the subject matter of a Gas Sender Unit Removal
tool. The last time I added fuel to the vehicle was a few years ago.
The sock on the pickup tube for the line inside the tank has apparently been
completely clogged by the gasoline. I need to remove the gas sender unit
so the inside of the tank can be inspected/cleaned and/or replaced as
necessary. I would be deeply grateful if anyone has the special tool for
removing this gadget and would loan it to me for a few days.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>While I am on the subject of special tools, I am curious to know if there
is a registry of available tools within the club that can be borrowed for such
purposes. If not, I would be happy to collect the necessary information
and maintain a registry.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please let me know if you have the gas sender unit removal tool, because I
need it this coming week.</DIV>
