If it is just dirty, get it boiled out, if there is an issue that forces sealing, get a new one. Yukon Jacks thread covered it well. The new tank necks are a cross between the Burb and Blazer tank and really doesn't fit either now!! Just have the neck out of your OE tank removed (radiator shop again as it needs to be heated up to remove solder and resolder into the repop tank). then switch the OE neck into the repop. Napa and Rock Auto both sell the new sending units for about $75, but the repops tend to come complete and ready to install.
