Here is an interesting twist.

Neihoff are no longer available either, but the Borg-Warner (BWD) are.

Here's another twist.   The original reference was for the Autozone TS-58; 
that crosses over to the WT386.   However, the 1972 Mustang with 351C and a 
water temp gauge reference is the WT324, as referenced above.

I compared both, and they appear to be almost identical externally; one has 
a slightly longer probe.   But clearly they are different.

So, do we use the one that crosses over to the one that is supposed to work 
best?   Or do we use the one that crosses over to the standard Ford sender, 
which SOBill says works????

Sheesh!
