I hope you know it doesnt have to come out of an 86 car. Any 82-92 fuel tank will fit. The later years, 90-92 will have the internal baffles to stop fuel starvation, and those are the only ones the dealer sells.

internal baffles to stop fuel starvation ? explain

Well I know in my 87 tpi if you took a left hard on a low level of gas it would run out and you would have a big hesatation. Which by the way is for sale but I can't ship because of fuel is in it and the post office has this thing about caring explosive stuff.

See my attachment. The fuel pump sits inside that cradle. When you turn corners, the walls stop the fuel from running away from the fuel pump.

I have two 86 Iroc fuel tanks.

I am working on the cage now, but I will eventually (month or several, not exactly sure) be pulling the fuel tank out of my 1992 Z28 at some point. I'm located in the Columbus, OH area. Not sure how big of a hurry you're in, but I figured I'd mention it in case you don't need it ASAP.
