    If it's the same size as a sbc, it takes a 1 1/16 socket and the deeper the better.

    Mike mentioned that in post #515 and I doubt if Barb has one or wants to spend the extra money on a one time use.

    "..... he is not real keen on me buying one use tools......"

    Tell him you'll need it for the NEXT swap too.

    If I was closer.......... Did the same thing thing many years ago and that is why I have one in my tool box. An 1 1/16 will fit, but the electrical connection will poke through and you won't be able to get an extension or ratchet on it so you can turn it. If you find a 1 1/16 socket just break off the electrical connector on the sending unit unless you plan on using it again.

    hey Barb,you tell that hubby that all your good work will be a waste if you don't have this special socket in your tool box and I sure he will see that you have put too much effort into this car to have it sitting gathering dust because of the price of one socket.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    Barb,
    Check with your local auto parts store about a loaner socket since it's a "special tool" for sending units. They sell them at AutoZone for $10 (OEM/2 5/8 in. drive oil pressure switch socket (25254) | Socket | AutoZone.com) , but I think many stores keep a loaner in their stash of tools, too.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
