Here are some thing to visually compare.

Unless there was a resistance difference between the fords Vs the merc and townies Id say it would work.
Mine looks exactly like your pic and the pic from Herko. I may pull the trigger. Its only one part of my fuel gauge saga though.LOL
I have purchased this item previously. It is correct for an EFI box sedan, prior to 90.
Wagon fitment is unclear (should work maybe with some mild bending). Carb car fitment is a solid no. 90+ fitment is a solid no.
The Herko is working so far, 20 miles, in my 87 mgm. Mechanic #3 said it wouldn't and preferred the reinstallation of the rusted out original. "You don't need no stinkin' fuel gauge." Mechanic #4 got the fuel system working and the car running by jumping the relay, but then replaced the fried computer. It seems one circuit near there is a ground, and 12 volts accidentally applied kills the computer. But was it testing by mechanic #2,3, or 4?
