I don't remember whether I got it from TFS or Chevs of the 40s but the universal I bought worked OK after some modification. The tank in my 38 is so shallow I had to shorten the float rod quite a bit. It was so short the float couldn't overcome the stiffness of the rheostat. I ended up putting an extra float so it would rise. That worked OK but it wouldn't fall for the same reason so I also had to add a small lead fishing sinker at the tip to give it enough weight to overcome the rheostat. After a few tankfuls of gas it loosened up and worked normally. I eventually found a working original on ebay and have it in the tank now. I gave my old universal to someone who needed one a few years back.
