[Shotimes] Police Gauges Sender Unit

[Dave Kegel]

There's also the very real possibility that the gauge no longer works
properly.

For nearly forever, Ford has really only used two oil sending units. One for

an idiot light and one for factory gauges. The idiot light sender is about 
the diameter of a quarter and maybe 1/2 inch thick with a 10/32 stud for the

wire. The other, and maybe the one you tried? Is about 2 inches in diameter 
and maybe 3 inches long with the 10/32 stud. That sender (for gauges) has 
been used for a long time. Am I correct that the Police Taurus used the 3.8L

engine? How about looking at the senders for TBird and Aerostar since both 
of those also used the 3.8? Maybe that would help.
