The Ford Barn

OK Barners, here's what I have in my files. This was info I copied on Shelly's old Fordbarn. I assume it's correct but have not tried to purchase one. As ken Ct said, they may look a little different than an original Ford sender so they would not be show correct for EFV-8C/A judging on the show field.

Oil Pressure Sending Units:
The sending units were manufactured by King Sealy and have a KS logo stamped on the top. They made 50# units for Willy's, Kaiser, Packard, and others. Let you in on a secret, essentially the unit was the same 50# pressure unit. The difference from Ford was the thread that fits into the block. Ford used a larger thread. I have found the Willy's (PN 647571) and using an off the shelf adapter have been able to fit the sender into the Ford V-8 without affecting performance. Look for these on ebay or at a Jeep parts house or auto parts store.
