thanks for the advice guys went to the JY today just got home about an hour ago, i found a 98 GP SE i pulled the sending unit out want hard at all but i didn't buy it because when i looked at the gas gauge it read over "F" so i didn't wanna buy it if it was broken. also because it may have not fit a 97. oh well one will turn up, gas gauge never worked since i owned the car so its no big deal to wait a little bit longer. the bright side is i got to see how to take one out so now i know for next time. other then that got some other parts for my GP and my moms car so it wasn't a waste of a ride.
