    A standard Vortec injected 305/350 fuel pump and sender from a 95- to 98 is all you need. When they updated to the Vortec injection in '95, it was a multiport fuel injection system requiring a higher fuel pressure. The LS engines also use this same high pressure system to run.

    It also required changing a couple wires at the pump but it was not complicated. Your original fuel pump relay can also be used but must get it's acuating power from the new PCM.

    It looks like the sending unit resistance is different between the tbi and vortec models also. 0-92ohms for the tbi and 40-250ohms for the gen 2 vortec.

    I didn't encounter any problems with the sending unit. Got mine off ebay since my old one wasn't functioning. Came out of a Vortec injected 96 or 97. I simply put a new pump on it and reworked the wires to fit my original harness. It works beautifully. My gauge package is out of a 94.
