Are the fuel pumps in the gas tanks the same for the 1987 and 1988 v6 and v8 thunderbirds? My tank has a hole in it, so ill be spending tomorow replacing it, and i know the fuel pump in my parts car is newer than the one in the v6. I figured It'd change it while i had the tank out.
according to my parts list, they all use the same fuel pump and fuel tank, so i think you're good there
Are the gas tanks the same from 83-88? My parts car's tnak has a hole in it, so I need to buy a new one. Anyone have any recomendations? How are the fuel pumps removed? there is some sort of a ring holding it in, and I'm not sure how the come out.
tank in the cfi cars is different (83-84)... you need the tank with a seperate fuel pump and sending unit hole...... advance has one for $200.... auto zone is about the same...... i got mine from a junk yard that DIDN'T drill holes in them... it was $75....
here's one on ebay for 145 with shipping
