86 fuel tank question

Can I put a 87 sending unit in my 86 fuel tanks. I put a motor that the mechanical fuel hole is not there. If not what would be the best way for fuel system? Thanks

You need the 87 tanks because they have the baffles for the electric in tank fuel pump. 87 tanks are cheap to buy new.

Ok can I install a in tank pump on my 86 tank sending unit and put my 86 sending unit with a pump on it, in my 87 fuel tank? If not why wouldn't that work? Or do I have to put a 87 sending unit in it?

I put a 87 sending unit with the pump in a 1980 tank. It works fine without the baffles.
