Help with oil pressure sending unit

[ACSPONY]

I'm installing a mechanical oil pressure gauge and I got the sending unit off (after removing/breaking the plastic housing...). Are the bell units interchangeable with the one I have? (shown below)

I see the bell and log shaped senders listed for 79-89 and mine 90-93 on LRS, but it would be easier to install a bell sender.

Does anyone know offhand if the GM sender tool from Advance fits our senders? Or can someone provide a link to a Ford sender removal tool?

Thanks.

The Ford unit can be removed with an open end wrench applied to the threaded metal part of the sender. There should be two flats on it for the wrench.

i was told to do this to slow the oil down if something breaks so u dont pump out all your oil.

I would have used an open end wrench but I didn't feel like I had enough room to maneuver it under there. I'll give it a shot when I install the new one.
