fuel pump?

sounds like a common problem. is there a pump/sender unit available? what is the most common fix? do you have to get the pump and sender seperately?

On an H-body, the Fuel pump is attached to the sender assembly, but unlike alot of modern cars it is not considered :part of the sender" fuel pumps can be changed seperatly and bought seperatly, I have not seen a Sender with a fuel pump already attached to it on the market new. You do have to pull the sender to change the pump. Get a good quality pump, I got a high pressure pump from NAPA serveral years ago, and have not had a problem sense then. Before that I had to replace the fuel pump almost every spring, 2 years in a row with less expensive pumps.

Are you having a problem with your fuel gauge and your pump? It could be a problem with the wiring or connection to the sender on the tank.
