Fuel Gauge and Sender Problem

Both my sender and the gauge on the cluster are not working (tested and confirmed), I been looking for an aftermarket sender unit + gauge but all i find are those ebay stuff that i don't really trust, anyone got any recommandation within a reasonable price?.

Thanks

The Sender is really easy to replace,as well as the Cluster>?..and why Pay for aftermarket Bling?
the sender you can get at,without taking the Fuel tank off..
Damn,If I would have known,I could have sent you out Both..for like 30 bucks..But I tossed the stuff when I converted the Pump to walbro.( I bought a Pump and sender).
kind of funny though,that BOTH the sender and the gauge are toast on your car.Did you check the wiring in it?.did you check at the Sender?.(sender resistance?)

the cluster itself is completely dead execpt for tacho and speedo and i have no idea how to get the cluster fix at all(i can tell there are things broken off at the back of the cluster physically, and the sender is actually... physically broken as well...

I went to the dealer for the sender they said is "discontinued"....

And i am having trouble getting parts at my location as well, thats why i would like to just order a set of aftermarket sender unit + gauge instead.

Go used.

The cluster is completely dead? Obvious question, but I'll ask. Are both the round electrical plugs securely plugged in?

If I dig around my garage of madness, I may indeed have a good sender I can sell you as well as a fuel guage/Temp module. But I'm betting all you need is the sender. They do go bad.

Autometer makes a gauge w/ adjustable reciever so you can use a stock sending unit. Downside is its like $120.

I bought an aftermarket sender/ gauge, but I sold it because I haven't found one that fits w/o some kind of custom mounting solution.
