[Healeys] BJ-8 fuel sending unit - changed?

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

Al Fuller has quoted Rich Chrysler.  I can do the same.  In e-mails that were exchanged in 2009 between Rich, other Listers and me, we discussed the float and terminal situation when a Lister said the illustrations in the parts manual showed the terminal facing rearward:

Rich's reply was:  The fuel sender is fitted with the screw terminal toward the back of the 
car, placing the float forward to the deepest and closest point to the pick 
up tube.


>(From me to Rich):  Attached is a photo of the fuel sender that is installed in my tank - both

(From Rich):  ...... I removed the sender from this original '65 BJ8 tank this week and 
it's exactly the same as yours. The float faces toward the front of the car 
as does the terminal.


I never did find out what other make/model of car the sending unit with the rear facing terminal was installed in.
