My fuel gauge has been reading full. Car now has 193 miles on it since the last fill up. Gauge still at full. So I tried the fix of pulling the sending unit and cleaning the actuator and the wire assembly with Q tip and electrical contact cleaner. Still no joy after reassembly.

So, my question, these things are expensive new. $329 or so from the parts vendors, $200 used with a pump from Corvette Salvage. I haven't heard back yet from Vette2Vette.

Ecklers sells just the sending unit piece for $200 as does a company called Corvette Recycling. I'm leery of Ecklers as I've heard stories about them taking a long time to fulfill orders.

I'm leaning towards just the new sending unit and installing my pump on it. Shouldn't be too difficult I would think and the pump works as the car runs fine. Anyone familiar with Corvette Recycling if I go this route?

I don't know about Corvette Recycling, but I have ordered from Ecklers more than a few times and never had a problem. Same with Vette2Vette.
