3rd gen camaro

i just had my fuel pump changed on my 86' camaro and the guy was looking at it and said the fuel sending unit was bad and is charging my 667$ with a tow included do you guys think thats a rip off?

nope, it's a pita to do, and those parts are expensive (the sender for my gp runs $300 used)I just did a quick online search, and the pump is listed at $70 no sender listed at all, which means it probably gets a premium.You also have to figure the labor I think that pays 6 hours at $75 an hour (that is conservative on the cost)so without sender or towing your at $520, figure he marked the pump up a bit (they always do) and your pretty close to what you paid

Had a fuel pump sending unit and all that put into my 97 with tow in and it ran 1055 i think i got riped off but i was leaving to come out to this great country of iraq yea. So i didnt have time to do it my self. So had to take the hit in the pocket book.

i was told by a shop it would be 400 just to put in a fuel pump... thats not anyparts or sending unit

technically (according to the service manual) the rearend has to come out to do it, it can be done without, but is a major pita

Tell that to the guy that put one in my ride before I bought it.
I found this when putting in my cage, after taking out all the carpet I noticed a black garbage bag RTV'ed just behind the rear seat. I started to tear it open and found a piece of sheet aluminum rivited down and they put black RTV and a garbage bag to seal it up. I had to find a piece of sheet metal and weld it back in to fill the hole they cut to get to the sending unit and pump. I talked to the owner that had it before me and told him what the shop did and he had no idea thats how they changed it out.

I did change the pump out while we had it open and put a 255L in it, easiest EFIi pump swap I ever did!
