This is also a good time to think about changing out the plastic “y” for the billet replacement unit I machine. It will not break nor leak like the discontinued plastic one will. If interested contact me via email. Thanks for looking.

I'm using a Stewart Warner universal fit sensor and fabricating an attachment to ZR-1 sender assembly. It's a modern thick film design. I get them from Summit Racing. Number SWW-439363-D. $37.

You can buy the sending unit without the pumps, search around the net. I can't remembered where I ordered from.
I was told that the few gallons in the bottom of the tank prevents the fuel pumps from overheating.
When my gage says empty &n shifts in to reserve mode, I still have 4 gallons left. I was told that this was correct.

I was told by a very reliable source (-=Jef=-) that the sender unit is the same as a standard C4. So you could find a deal on a standard C4 complete unit & swap the sending unit. That would be the least expensive way to get a new sending unit.
