Hi Andy, I just spoke with him and he said he would like to keep the sending unit and repair it. His is an all original 69 400 / 400 coupe with 70,000 miles. He knows the full car history and the engine and trans have never been out of the car!!! Not too many can say that. It still has some of the original date coded tower clamps (which I always thought were crap, but these ones are hanging on).
