Hmm if you get a new float will the gauge work properly? All you have to do is snap it in place or what?

It depends. If the float is bad, a new one will fix it. They just snap on.

If the armature is bad. Most comon problem. Then a whole new sending unit is required.


================================================

And yes, you can use a 1980-1984 tank in your 1985-1986 if it's carbed. Then you can use the 1980-1984 parts. Not sure how involved a change it would be though.
