Fuel sending units

[RescuedElk]

Hello all, and thanks in advance for any help.

I recently dropped the tank and am in the process of cleaning it out. Looks pretty good but my fuel sending unit is trash. Does anyone know of any sending units that will fit a 22 gallon fuel tank for an el camino. Has a stock 350. Looks like the ones that are meant for it I have to order, but I would love to finish this project before the weekend. Any help is appreciated.

Elky's take elky sending units. Finding someone local with one in stock might be hard.

Probably going to have to order it.

GM p/n 25001076, superseded to 19180451, w/83 liter tank (22 gallon).

ACDelco # FLS1094.

Far as I can tell, those ain't available anywhere.

There's a restoparts version available at Summit and Jeg's and OPGI. No idea of the quality.

I have the restoparts one in my 79 it is good quality and fit fine. The gas gauge resistor is likely not the same as original at 1/4 tank it takes about 12 gallons. That last quarter tank is a BIG quarter tank.

Says it doesn't fit 78 El Camino of any variety. I put in 78 El Camino and did a search for fuel level sending units and got zip. And the part number you have says it doesn't fit 78 El Camino. So why would you want that one? Spectra website doesn't even list a sender for the El Camino 78-87 to which is the years applicable for the 2-line sending unit that I gave previous numbers for that fits the 22 gallon tank. Do what you want, but I think you'll be pi$$ing your money away.

Don't fiddle futz around with the gas tank senders. Either rebuild yours, or buy the correct replacement if available.

You didn't specify how your original is "trash". You can clean them out, check the resistance, and also get a new filter sock if you need to. If the pickup tubes are rusted/crusted out, that's a different story.

You can still get the tbi sender, if you want to switch to fuel injection.
