So can you use a tank out of a 82 and put it in a 87 with efi? or do you have to switch the pumps or will it not work?

Well it looks like I am going to have to buy a different fuel tank and sending unit. Not what I wanted to hear but hopefully I will be able to sell what I have. I was thinking about putting a fuel cell in the bed, guess I have some thinking to do.

You can use the 87 EFI sender in the '82 tank, but not the 82 sender in the 87 EFI tank. If you use the '82 tank you won't have the baffeling that was mentioned previously, the biggest negative is if you run the tank low it could stall because of uncovering of the sump.
