  Yes, Ford has used these sensors.
 An ex-girfriend had an early 80's (82-83?) Ford T-bird with a *carbureted*
 3.8 liter V6.  It had the trip/mileage stuff on the dash and a fuel flow
 meter in the fuel line between the carb and the mechanical fuel pump.
 It's near the front of the motor and it's got a couple wires coming out of
it...
 That's about all I remember. It's been several years ago, and I tried to
 spend as little time as possible under the hood of that one...

 Go to the wreckers and look for some 80's carbureted T-birds or Lincolns
 that have the mileage meter stuff...
