Which brand fuel sending unit? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I had been looking to purchase a used fuel sender but had no luck, so I decided to pony up the extra cash and get a new one. I've read many post about people having really bad luck with aftermarket sending units. Is there any particular brand or place you guys would recommend?

I got mine from Classic Parts and have had no issues so far

x2 on Classic Parts.

I bought mine about 6 months ago, they were the least expensive ($30), and it works fine.

Glad I asked, I was about to order the $50 from Summit.

I had a tough time finding a correct sending unit for my '69 C20 with 307. The first one I bought from Summit was completely wrong tube angle and connector to fuel line and the replacement was on back order for months. I finally found a NOS unit from a board member for the six cylinder and it works perfect for my 307 too.
