Ford fuel sender O-ring question

Warning non-Bronco tech boxing


Our '67 Fairlane starting leaking fuel from the sender unit last fall and I'm guessing I need to replace the o-ring seal.

This website, https://buyacp.com/parts/fuel-sending-unit-o-ring-gasket-fm-ef005/ , leads me to believe that most early Ford fuel senders used the same o-ring and I just need to source it from somewhere that says it fits one of the applications. Does this sound right?

It wasn't too long ago that you could get one at the Ford dealer. Might still be able to.

I ordered 3. 1 for the Fairlane, one for the Bronco's aux tank (maybe), and a spare.

We'll see when they get here.
