There are basically a bunch of different sending units for this car, buttstuffog/digital and w/tripminder, none are available anywhere. Unless someone has one they can part with you are better off making one from scratch like i had to do.

i ordered a mahle metal/rubberized single piece oil pan gasket but before i installed. i made a template for future use. if anyone would like to make their own gasket out of a material such as what i use ( KARROPAK).
i made the templated using "fish paper" which is a telecommunications part aka "fiber paper".
if anyone is ineterested in making their own oil pan gasket, i can mail this template out to you as long as you send it back. it will fold up into a standard envelope so its not costly. ask for scott at 304 772 4082 if you want to borrow it.
as for the front and rear part and sealing up things,, just follow my template and these two areas are wide enough to span the grooved out area where you would fill with silicone then use your flat gasket and button up the pan.
i guess what i am saying is i have a template for you to make your own "single piece" gasket out of materia you have.

This caught my eye. I will assume there are folks like me who who spend a lot of time searching and reading, all helpful information as I pick any and enjoy my T-bird. The forum has a ton of answers that are easy to find. Thank you all for the input already posted. Loving the kick when that turbo spools up in every gear. Who new you could have this much fun under the speed limit.

Bench testing an oem 302 oil pump just for the sake of saving it as a spare or not. if i can get a gear set,, i will save it back.
So,, as advised earlier,,, getting a new pump turned out to be the best choice here. I did not go with a high volume ,, just a standard.
I did mis- identify the year of the casting number on the pump housing,, begs for forgiveness, C2xx would be 1962.,,, not 72.

Room for days and days and days................
I am bewildered by what all the hub bub is about doing an oil pump or pan gasket in the car. remove starter, motor mounts, raise engine and it drops down a whole bunch.
