    Default Sending unit and spark plug questions

    Does anyone have a picture or a link to a fuel sending unit for a 1985 mustang gt? Carburetor and T5
    Also what does everyone use for spark plugs? Autolites or motorcraft?
    Thanks

    I've used NGK V-Power for the last 25 years. Inexpensive and they work excellent.

    I used to use Motorcraft and Autolite plugs, but switched to NGK because their performance seemed to taper off pretty quickly. I haven't noticed this with the NGK plugs, service intervals have been a lot longer. All I will use now are NGK plugs, even in my lawn equipment. Seems that all anyone wants to sell for that lawn stuff is Champion junk, and those plugs won't fire after sitting a winter most of the time.
