86 fuel tank on 85 spree?
Is the 86 fuel tank different from the 85 or can I swap one for another?

The petcock connections are different. Also the fuel sender on an 86 is a 3 wire and the 85 is a 2 wire.
The 85 tank itself will bolt up no problem between all year Sprees.

Thanks, So If I were to swap over the whole system... tank and petcock assy. from an 86 to my 85 everything should work out other than the fuel gauge?

Either of you guys have a good tank and/or petcock you want to sell? The interior of mine is so rusted that I think I may be better off finding a replacement. So far I have run across a few 86's so that's why I was asking.

I thought the 3 wire sender was an '87 thing (not 1986) ..... I could be wrong.bradthreee wrote: Also the fuel sender on an 86 is a 3 wire and the 85 is a 2 wire.

My 86 has a 3 wire so I don't know if there was an early 86 model that was different from a late 86.

I have an 87 tank and an 85 but need to verify. Both nice and clean.
