Misery loves company. #139 has eaten two brake fluid sending units in 5K miles. Try Borg-Warner S551 or NAPA/Echlin SL147.

I have the "old-style" friction fit spring-loaded header-sidepipe connections, I can't help but think that I am cooking those poor sending units, inches away from the header/sidepipe connection.

Now I need help: #64, you mentioned the lid on the brake fluid reservoir... last sending unit change, a well-meaning friend left the lid, which has the sending unit float for low-brake fluid level, on the exhaust manifold. Melted that puppy, I have no IDEA how to find a replacement.

Help.

BTW, help me sell it. Health reasons.
