Just be careful when you tighten it.  It's possible to strip out the hole
in the aluminum head.  The PO of my '75 bus had done this and I never did
find a reliable way to get the sender to stay in there.  After a thousand
miles or so the vibration would start to loosen it and I'd get an
intermittent misfire when the engine was warm.
