Default 1990 fuel pump/sending unit

Conflicting data. Instructions say pull fuel tank for the install; some on-line mechanic sites (all fix, etc) say vertical install does not require tank drop, BUT others say yes and even found a maybe. Problem is the gauge (hybrid in 1990 w digital bars for fuel) quit working always full then drops to 1/4. Anyone change theirs? Thanks

Default Pete is correct

Petes link is correct. I followed those directions and I finished my 91 in 1 hour from the time I opened the fuel door. It's so much easier than I thought it would be. I was nervous and took way more time than I should have.

I'm not sure I would trust a link about "fule" tank sending units. Try this one (the definitive fuel sending unit article -- with lots of pics):
