1987 Camaro

The wife has a 1987 Camaro with only 46,000 miles on it, but it is unbelievably trouble-prone. The fuel gauge was acting erratically and finally the car would not start. So we took it to a mechanic, who replaced the fuel pump and the rusting gas tank, and told us that the fuel gauge sender was broke, and a replacement was not available.

Well the car runs fine now, but the fuel gauge shows constant empty. I filled the tank, checked the mileage, and made a spread sheet on a small card to keep track of the mileage for the next fill-up.

Any suggestions on how to get the gauge/sender repaired or replaced?

The best way is bye going to the local salvage yards. & Hunting your part down I had the same problem & it was a fast fix for $10.00 but a bit of hunting which was fun as I found lot's of parts that I could use.

Have you looked around for an aftermarket version?

Graybeard,

the sending unit on that car is in the fuel tank (a pain in the ass to get to also...there is a site (thirdgen.org) that explains in detail how to get to it and replace it....
