Ya sounds like it (ground the sender body and move float by hand) & not work.
At that time viabrator/vac tube radios had condensers or suppressors all over the
place on the generators, oil senders gas tanks whatever and where ever usually by
the dealer to stop the annoying whirring out of the speaker. Strangely some vehicals
had these and some did not. Then in 1957 the (fomoco Philco) radios were transistor
power supplied but still had to warm up (vac tubes) still used, but transistors ended
the rf whine ending the need for all those suppressors. Has anyone come across the
spiraled springs in front wheel bearing covers?? Thats another radio suppressor.
