    I'm getting bits and pieces of info from different sources on here. So I have a question: the fuel gauge I have is faulty. It almost always reads full. No big deal, but I finally want it fixed. Now I pulled a fuel pump yesterday for a few bucks out of a low mileage 3800 grand prix, so it should be the same as mine. But untill close examination, it isn't. The one I pulled has the three fuel lines, which is the same, but only one top connecting unit. The one I have in my car, along with Others Ive seen in some threads have two top wire connecters. I don't get it. So my next thought is using the fuel LEVEL sender unit attached to the pump and exchange it with the one on my pump, rather than exchanging the whole pump unit. It looks easy, and the donor is already off of the pump. Real simple. Is this what some of you guys have done?

    Also, I remember hearing somewhere that you can go to a gm dealer and get a new one (clip with sensor, float, and two wire feeds). I think that getting a new one would be better. Isn't it said somewhere that this piece is expensive per grand prix, but is way cheaper, and identically the same, for like a blazer? Or something....? I dunno. I appreciate the help guys!
