Re: Fuel Sending Unit

I never knew there was a difference but I think this is what you need, from Rock Auto:
DORMAN Part # 692137

They have two different ones and the first one specifically says for FI but this one does not.

I known this is old but this sending unit will work. Spectra Premium FG20A Sending Unit for Chevrolet/Pontiac. EBay sells for 109 new. Summit Racing has them for 159.

in my experience, "spectra" and "airtex" are the very bottom of the barrel. on occasion , I have had customers come at me with their products wanting me to install them. I wont waste my time. and have to send them away

Re: Fuel Sending Unit

dont think i would send someone away, just tell them they are paying for it when you have to do it a few months down the road when it goes bad again. most will get the point i imagine

in my town, the cars I repair are known for STAYING repaired. its a point of pride for me. I cant expect them to stay repaired using trash parts. plus it keeps the "pobuckers" away from my shop !!

Re: Fuel Sending Unit

SPectra sucks. Get a reman style for a FI car, take off the sock on the bottom of it, add a 3" fuel hose to the bottom of the pick up and put the sock on the bottom of that.
