Need help finding fuel sending unit

[Charlyhtx]

Hey fellas, currently ordering parts and I cannot find the sending unit I need for my car for ls swap. It's a 1987 El Camino, I've found some units but they're going for 280 bucks. Is there somewhere I can get the tank and matching sending unit?

Why not use one from a injected g body
Like the t type regal
Replace the pump to match your needs

Or purchase a universal in tank pump from tanks inc

because the El Camino tanks are not the same...

You either pay the $280 or you buy a $90 sending unit and Macguyer it. The $280 unit is probably just one that has been professionally Macguyer'd

If its not 400 RWHP, maybe you can get away with this:

4.3L TBI Elco Hanger

I've heard fuel tanks from 94-96 caprice and roadmaster wagons bolt in to el caminos. possibly other wagon years may work also.

I know it's from another forum, but I stumbled across this a while back, and thought it might be helpful to you: http://www.elcaminocentral.com/showthread.php?t=29808

Don't know how up-to-date the info is.

Is there a way to modify a Monte Carlo sending unit to work in El Camino tank?

S10 sending unit should work? TBI in 90-93 maybe newer. Just throwing it out there somebody else may know for sure.
