i just bought a new gas tank now i just need some help with were can i find the darn sending unit for it dose eneyone know were i can find one at thanks for the help.

 

I've checked around and they're not available at all. Autokrafters used to have them back in the day but not anymore.... Best bet is to buy a used one and hope it doesnt go bad.. or you can try this one:

I had this same problem this fall. I ended up going with using my old one and praying that it doesn't fail. So far so good.

What I found out is that the early year sending units will work, but they will not pick up the last 3 +/- gallons of gas (unless you do the mod to make the pick up longer). So you will be holding 3 gallons of gas you can't use.

 

I got mine out of a Torino with a 19 gal tank at the Pick n Pull here, works great...very accurate, when I ran out of gas it showed it was empty lol.

 

ok thanks i think ill go with the 65-68 mustang one i think i wii make it work thanks.

 

Same here, i'm running a 74 one which is the same as 71-73. But it marks accurate. I'm going to swap out to the mustang one soon. Because this one is 36 years old....and I don't trust 36 year old electronics.

 

Can you explain about the mod making the pick-up longer?

I don't have anything really to add. I didn't try this option, it is what I was told by AutoKrafters. Here is a link to the thread I had when I was doing my search.
