Parts duffus'
Needed a couple of seals for my 74 Bronco the other day. Called the local FORD dealership parts guy and he said "sorry sir we can't look up anything older than 84". Now I know computers are wonderful but can't parts guy's read catalogs or micro fiesh (sp) anymore? Or is it they can't be bothered with old stuff anymore.
Bill, any chance you have a # for fuel sender to fuel tank O-ring seals that I can take to the dealership?
Thanks in advance, Mike

The fuel sending unit's O-Ring is the same from 1957 thru 1996 and fits all the cars, Bronco's, Econolines, Rangers, Bronco II's and F100/750's except 1957 thru 1977 F100/750's with the in cab fuel tank, 1983 and later with diesel engines.
The O-Ring is still available from Ford. If you also have the auxillary tank on your Bronco-same O-Ring.
COAF9276A / MSRP: $0.77 / FTEpartsguy.com price: $0.60.
FTE partsguy is Ed Olson @ PARR FORD in Bremerton WA. Ed has 7 of these O-Rings in stock.
No dealer in Sacramento has them, but Sacramento Vintage Ford Parts might have them.
Since no local dealer has any, the SOP when ordering special order parts is...you have to buy all that come in the package, in this case: 10.

Sounds like my local Mack dealer. Got bought out, all new parts guys and NONE want to bother to look for ANYTHING. If they can call the part number by memory, then they go get the part. If they have to look it up? They suddenly don't carry it. Swell.
Bills the ultimate parts guy! Just another "thanks for being here"
