86 sender in a 88 tank.......?

[Jeep Driver]

Since the POS Bosch will not keep up with my 2.5 and since I'm going V8 in the future anyway, I want to get the new 86 sender assembly and install an external pump. 

 

Will my gauge function properly?

I've bought from that guy before, Rob is ok.

I believe your wiring is the same except for the power for the pump. I had to search to find a 86 XJ sender for my 85xj. The original tank and sender were kaput. had to mess with the plugs to get the 86 sender to work 85 was a two prong plug, 86 is three planning for the fuel pump used in the 86 2.5 and then 87 up. The 86 plug worked with the 91 pump and sending unit I connected to the body harness plug to test the fuel gauge and wiring.

 

I think it will work for what you want to do but I'm not 100% sure on the mj, just assuming it's similar to XJ.
