Fuel Sending unit

By eric l. on 4/14/2015

My sons 88GT gas gauge always stayed on empty so I ordered this unit and popped it in in less than an hour, the only problem was the two tabs under the plug needed to be squeezed in a little to fit in the opening but other than that it was fairly simple and works great! Can't bet the price either especially when it was gonna cost me almost a hundred dollars at the local parts store. Another thing to remember is if you get this unit also buy the filler neck grommet with it, because your gonna tear it lowering the tank

Fuel level sending unit

By Samuel H. on 12/7/2014

I own 2 foxbody 5.0 Mustangs, an 88 GT and and an 89 LX. This is also my 2nd fuel level sending unit purchased from Latemodel Restoration Supply. I purchased a fuel level sending unit for my 89 LX a couple of years ago. And I purchased another fuel level sending unit for my 88 GT 2 weeks ago. The fuel level sending units are of the highest quality and Latemodel Restoration has the best prices around. These sending units are just what I needed for my modified stangs! The staff at LRS are very helpful,friendly, and professional!

perfect

By fred h. on 4/30/2014

This is a perfect fit this way I didn't have to get a universal 1 and have to keep messing with it to read properly like my friend did might be $25 more than the universal 1 from AutoZone but not having to adjust it a dozen times to read correctly. ......... PRICELESS

No Worries anymore.

By Aaron D. on 8/15/2014

I bought this fuel level sending unit due to a faulty unit and always having to estimate how many miles I had left to drive from point A to point B. Now with Latemodel Restorations replacement, I have a accurate reading of how much fuel is left with less worries.

Excellent Replacement

By Victor F. on 7/5/2016

Not having a gas level reading got old pretty quick. Couple of close calls where I barely made it to the gas station sputtering. Bought this fuel level sending unit from LMR two weeks ago and showed up on my door step just a few days later. I installed it the sending unit in an hour. Would of been quicker had my tank been empty. Not a good idea changing this with anything more than 1/4 tank full, mine was 3/4 full. It was a simple swap of the old to the new. I had to use my old locking ring though so double check yours before throwing out the old one. Feels great to have a gas level reading again.

1994 Gas gauge---Got it working!

By Donovan M. on 3/9/2015

I bought this so I could have a better idea of the amount of gas in the tank, of my 1994 Mustang v6, other than hoping it would make it 300 miles a tank! The sending unit dropped right in. The flange that came with it wouldn't fit. It only had three notches to attach to the tank but the original had four. The gasket fit perfect with the old flange, which I cleaned and reused, and it locked down correctly and bingo! The gauge is working!

Yes, I would recommend this item to a friend!

Gas gauge always read full?

By Ernie K. on 9/30/2016

Mine did, when I pulled my sending unit and saw how orange and rusty it was, I had to replace it. Sent in just three business days and packaged very well. It was the exact one I needed. I will tell you, it took a couple miles for it to read correctly after install. Highly recommend

Good product

By David G. on 8/28/2016

The issue I had was that the retainer lock ring on my car is a 4 tab not a 3 tab, like what comes with the unit.
Also, the new rubber ring stands vertical.
My lays flat.
The new style rubber ring would not seal and the lock ring would not go in.
I just reused my old ones.
