95 may have it, 96 will have it. the v6 should have it also. Im not sure on a 94 because its obd1.

Would this fix the fluctuating problem I am having? I just swapped engines ('95 4.3 for the 2.2) and ever since installing the new pump my gas gauge moves around.. Not much, but enough to piss you off.

I dont think it would, but its worth a shot. Is it "floating" like the older trucks used to do?

somewhat, it goes up when I press on the gas, and when I let off the gauge goes back to where it was supposed to be.. lol

I am wondering if the V6 is the same as the 4 cylinder?

would anyone know if the cavaliers have these too? The wreckers around dont have many s10s but thousands of cavs.

I have finally found the buffer "I hope" from a '95 4.3L and I haven't gotten around to installing it, but I did notice another weird thing.

The needle moves around just like the sloshing (spelling?) of the tank. I can hit the brakes about ten times to get the truck to "rock" and the gauge will do the same. So maybe the cluster is bad? idk

EDIT: I believe the 4.3L wiring is different, because I just looked at the buffer and it is 1/2 the size of the one you found. Now I am just thinking about swapping dash harness' and be done with the whole swap.
