    Does anyone know a source for new ones,I used up my stash of used ones and my car now needs another. Going to hit up the local old junkyard next weekend to see if I can find any but would be nice to have a new part.

    Most of the tbird suppliers have them, and the ones I’ve bought worked. As well as those gauges worked to begin with. Like everything else with “Thunderbird” attached to it they’re a little pricey.

    Sometimes you can get a good price on NOS/NORS stuff on eBay if you know the part number. A lot of sellers don’t know the application, just list it as-is.

    I tried using a more modern sending unit but would not work.
