Need a new sending unit. Those are around $200 new.
You can get a new sending unit from 1AAuto.com for $115.00 with free shipping. I ordered one from a Corvette vendor for $170 +$20 shipping. After it was on the way I saw it at 1AAuto. I usually get OE stuff for my wifes Yukon from them. Surprised the heck outta me that they had a fuel pickup assembly for a '75 Corvette.

I found one on Ebay. Will see how it works out. I am glad all the rust is out of the tank, lines and carb now.
