Chrysler Repair: fuel delivery, electrical wiring system, chrysler new yorker

Question
I am trying to find the name of a part that is leaking gas from my 1985 Chrysler new yorker 2.6L MITSUBISHI engine. it is located left of the carburator,a gas line runs in/another line runs out and over the valve cover and meets with a cupler connection that has electrical wiring system and then this line runs back to the carburator. this part bolts to the block. I do not have a manual to my car and I am trying to find part as the gas is leaking badly and do not think it is safe to drive until it is fixed and I live miles in country and the dealers haven't
been able to figure what I am talking about.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Judy,
While I haven't ever layed eyes on a 2.6L engine I do have the '85 shop manual for it. One drawing shows three items that have fuel lines: the fuel filter, the fuel reservoir, and the fuel flow sensor. The latter is the only one of those three that also has electrical wire connections. So if the item that is leaking has electrical connections {(a double wire (white and black) and a single wire (red)} then what you have there is the fuel flow sensor. The reservoir looks like a pill box, no electrical connections at all. And the fuel filter is cylindrical. I hope this is useful to you. I could copy the drawing and snail mail it to you if that would help. I hope you can get a replacement new, and if not then maybe a wrecking yard is your best bet.
Anytime you have fuel leaking in the engine compartment you are indeed running a risk of fire should it flow onto a hot manifold or the vapor experience a spark. So try to get it fixed without driving it till you no longer have a leak. The sensor looks like it has some nuts and bolts that hold it together, so you might try tightening those just to see if that would stop the leak, and check the clamps on the fuel lines that service it. You might not even have to replace it that way.
