1996 Civic CX Fuel Level Sending Unit

Good morning to all. I am a new member after having purchased a 1996 Civic so I can teach my son some basics of mechanics. Here is my first dilemma;
For the life of me I cannot find the fuel level sending unit anywhere. I know it was discontinued but one would think there would be plenty out there still floating around. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanx.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Recycle yard/used parts
box parts stores
rockauto?
rebuild?

Electrical difference: different resistance specs depending on if the sender is a wire wound type (japan built) or ceramic card (us/can built)
Bearing that in mind, maybe a part for a 2 or 4 door can be adapted to work on a 3 door CX

Thanx. I am pretty sure I will be diving into the wrecker for some parts just hoping one of the many here had a magical answer. As we are new to this old girl I am sure to have a myriad of questions for everyone. Thanx again.
