I have one out of my former 86 you can have it for a small fee if youd like.
If you want it,make me an offer I cant refuse.


Anyways,there are some differences with the older units.I think 88 or maybe 89 and up changed the fuel line sizes.The later cars had the same feed and return hose size in the rear while the older TPI cars had 2 different size lines.The older feed is 3/8 hose and the smaller is 7/16 or something like that.

The 88 and up car may have 3/8 to 3/8.I bought a gas tank and sending unit from a newer model some years back and could not push the smaller hose onto the larger line on the newer sender ,so i ended up going braided lines,which is expensive and a hassle to do.Everything has to come out to snake it in the right places.

Hope this helps somewhat.
