Worth trying the tank. For an extra bit of comfort, it might be a good idea to place another fairly large filter somewhere right out of the tank before fuel can reach the fuel pump.
Here is the sender gasket I believe Riki was able to get locally. Might try a parts store and see if they have any in bulk assortments or see if they carry anything for Tbirds or mid to late 50s Fords. Since you are both in San Diego area, maybe send Riki a PM and get the name of the store.
As I recall the originals were round instead of square cut so those might be easier to find. Just make sure they are rated for use around gasoline. McMaster Carr is another option.
