What does a fuel sending unit do?

The fuel sending unit is a sensor located inside your fuel tank. It measures the fuel level and sends that information to your fuel gauge on the dashboard, so you know how much gas you have.

Does this sending unit come with everything needed for installation?

This unit includes the metal sending unit and the float. It features a lock ring design for installation, but you may need to reuse your existing fuel tank gasket or purchase a new one separately.

What is the impedance range and why does it matter?

The impedance range (10-73 ohms) tells your fuel gauge how much fuel is in the tank. A reading of 10 ohms typically means the tank is full, and 73 ohms means it's empty. This unit matches the original factory specifications for accurate gauge readings.
