Re: Gas tank year Differences, 73-81,-82-86,87

73-81 have smaller filler necks than 82-86. 87 has a sump pan (like a little cake pan) under the sending unit to keep the fuel from sloshing away from the in-tank electric pump they used that year. The pan interferes with the float on earlier fuel senders.

The other dimensions didn't change between styles (but are different between the two sizes).
