1966 T Bird - 10/16/2007 11:37:24 AM    EP103   Posts: 4 Score: 0 Joined: 10/16/2007 From: OHI0 Status: offline Hello:    This is my first post as I just joined today. I need your help, I bought a 1966 T Bird from  a guy that cobbled it up to where it would do what he needed. I am trying to go through it and make it original. I went to buy an oil sending unit for it, and am having no luck, the one that the book calls for is longer and much bigger around, and there isn't enough room to get it to fit, The original unit actually looks like a GM unit, but has the threaded post for the wire, My Bird has an oil guage not a light, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I will be asking for lots of future help                                Thanks Ed Post #: 1

Is there any way I can find out what year the motor is that's in it. I fear that it has been changed. Onelap , I checked out that site and emailed them, thanks for the info.                                                      thanks Ed (in reply to Hayapower) Post #: 5
