Temp. Sender question

No , as already mentioned, but , Ive used a similar sending unit with a ford gauge from from the same vintage as the sender . They literally screw in , look identical, once you change the faceplate.
 
In addition, the thread diameter is smaller than the hole in the head (in 57, Ford went to a smaller thread diameter).
 
Again, thank you all for responding. I'm trying to find a King Seally 2 pole sender that works.
 
On Ebay there's a NOS 01A-11990 with a starting bid of $20. Item # 196907422327. Is that what you are looking for?
 
Thank you 1942deluxe for the ebay tip. I will keep an eye on it.

I am also wondering what the number 226 stamped on the sender means.
Does anyone have an idea?

I was thinking it might be the temp. at which the internal points open but, I no longer think so as I think the units are designed to open at about 200 degrees.

19Fordy,
The one in your listing is a 1A-10990 which looks almost the same but different part number. His listing states 49-53 which probably works in an 8BA engine? The only thing that rings a bell on the 226 is that was the displacement of the six-cylinder engines after the war so call that a wild guess. The same seller has a NOS sender with the single terminal listed.

I fleetingly had the same thought about the 226, but I think we can disregard that as the six had no need for a second sender.
 
In the 1965 O.S.I. manual it shows the 1A-10884-A sender (single terminal) being replaced by the 8A-10884. The 8A-10884 works on 1949-55 and is marked "224" and used with a 26H-8100-B radiator cap. The 1A-10990-A shows "MW" (make work, which indicates can be used but requires modification) by 8A-10990 which is marked 217. Application shows 49-53 with the 26H radiator cap. Something good that came out of looking that up is I found I have two NOS 26H 8100 B caps and they will work on my 55Ford....
 
1942deluxe: Thanks for the info. However, I am a little perplexed.
QUESTION: Please explain what this "modification" you mentioned means.

Unkown at this point. Could be something as simple as needing another wiring connector because of a different screw diameter or something of that nature. One thing that comes to mind was thermostats in the 1990's. We found a thermostat sometimes fit but differed in temperature range from the one called for in the parts catalog. Are you running an 8BA engine?
 
YES, I am running an 8BA in a 40 Ford with a stock TEMP dash gauge.
Radiator cap is 15 psi on a WALKER radiator.
