That's where the sending unit would be if I had one, and instead I have what they call an "emergency switch" (the little thing in the inset of the photo).
Looking up the item there, the switch and sealing ring will run me $4.75. Those are my kind of parts! Somewhere I saw it mentioned that if you work on this, the seal needs to be replaced. Wonder if the indy who worked on mine skipped the seal, or more likely I guess, mine just went out now, unrelated. With such a low price, I'm going to try it. Do you know if there is any special trick to replacing this?
