Denny,

Can you tell if the tightening nut is square or hex shaped? If square it is likely original. There will also be a date code stamped on the side of the nut. For your car I would suspect A6 (Jan 66) or possibly a very late 65 date.

Hi Dave, It's a square nut unit. I can't see the date code the way it's positioned now. Wait till I remove it, and I'll check. I'll keep you posted. Denny

I picked up this sending unit and was wondering if it will work as a replacement for my original unit? This one has  the number 90 on it. Looking at the Ford part number, that it might be for a truck. Anyone know if this one is OK to use on my 66?

Thanks, Denny

Hopefully it has the FOMOCO in the oval like the assemblyline one instead of the Fomoco in block letters in the rectangle. Regardless, Yes it will work and a good alternative IMO.  ;D

Thanks so much Bob, Sorry the photos were so LARGE. I'm not doing something correctly when I post them from "mygallery", but I'll keep trying. Denny

The threaded part looks longer than the typical B7T unit so it will stick up a little further from the block extension piece but don't think that will be an issue...
