That is an aftermarket sending unit, it's not genuine Ford. I can tell by the float, the thickness of the flange.

Original Ford sending units have a crooked arm where the copper float attaches.

The float is the same 1957/79 and fits everything...except 1978/79 Fiesta's.

I believe Dave (garbz2) has a source for these aftermarket sending units
