Searching For Gas Tank Sending Unit - 1974-78 Mustang II

A friend at work has purchased a project car a 1974 MustangII.

He has been asking me for a gas gauge sending unit located in the gas tank.


I happen to have a 1989 fox body parts car.

Thus
My question is as follows
Will a 1989 gas tank sending unit float work in a 1974?

John,

I don't believe an '89 gas tank sending unit will work in a '74. To the best of my knowledge (I have 2 '78's), Ford never released the patent on the gas tank sending unit, so there are no aftermarkets available. The only option is to have someone rebuild the gas tank sending unit. Now, if it is the float that is needing replaced, those are available.
