Fuel pump issues.....?!

so i have had fuel gauge issues from day one i already knew what it was (sending unit) at least im pretty sure that is it.... but i have called around and no one can get just the sending unit, they dont have any record of the damn thing......they say a junk yard or dealer would be my options probably..........seriously?!?! doesn't a new unit come with a new fuel pump....? or no?!

well this is awesome..........scratch that thought! i did some more looking and napa has the sending unit......189.99!!!! holy crap!! i think maybe the junk yard sounds like a better idea now!! i have an 87 iroc and my 90 rs that BOTH the damn fuel gauges have never worked in as long as we have had them.....is this a common problem? maybe its not the unit.....?? dunno at this point.

It wouldn't be too hard to check with an ohmmeter to make sure the problem isn't with the gauge(s).
