I need to replace my low pressure fuel pump that is located inside the fuel tank on my '87 Bronco 2. I'm aware that on the '87's there are two fuel pumps with the one in the fuel tank being the low pressure, and the other one (high pressure) on the rail under the drivers seat. Since I have to change the fuel tank pump, I was thinking of changing to the later '89-'90 fuel pump that basically combines both pumps (high and low pressure) into one unit inside the fuel tank. I can handle the plumbing to eliminate the high pressure inline pump under the drivers seat but I have an question. I think the connector is the same for the '87 and '90 with both having four wires. Will the fuel gauge read correctly or not at all when it sends a signal to the dash fuel gauge from the updated fuel pump which contains the fuel gauge sender signal? I read somewhere the fuel gauge may not work but I'm not sure if that is correct. Any and all help would be appreciated regarding pumps swap or fuel gauge.
