I'm assuming you are talking about the sending unit for the fuel gauge. You cannot buy it separate, as far as I know. It comes with the fuel pump. You might see if anyone who has replaced their entire pump kept the old one. I did, and I was glad I did, because I had to use parts for the sending unit almost immediately, the plastic on the new one wasn't molded very well and it wouldn't stay together.

Be more specific so we are no guessing as to what parts you may need.

I have 2 sending units(good, bad pump). If by electrical connector, you mean the harness on the vehicle that plugs into the sending unit, I couldn't help ya.

@coldstart: I might have the same issue, but how did you know it is the sending unit from the pump assembly.

@kenk: BTW, how much do you want for the bad one?

Let me make sure I still have both(I like to keep 1 as a spare), but being I'm not in the parts business, I'd probably let in go for ten bucks if you pay shipping

You can get a new pump(motor, minus sending unit) for right around, just under a hundred bucks. I couldn't find a complete unit for under about $375, and I dont even remember where it was that cheap.

The pre-AEL(before mid-'97) can be had on the cheap, but won't work for an AEL app.
