thats a tough one, just about to complete a full recond on my 87, hopefully going to drop it back in today, and it has the little white box like yours, and even in the other thread, no one seems to know.
maybe this bump TTT will get some other responses.

update ,downloaded pics of new sending units off e-bay & zoomed in & some didnt have this box,so I cut that box thing out & ran straight wires ,the short wires on top of the white box where very hard& brittle causing an on& off fuel pump problem that was drivin me nuts for awhile so if you have a similar year & problem give it a check,alleluyah.
