Well, my Gold 88 TC holds 22 gallons, but my Red 88 TC only holds 19. Got me what the difference is.

sctur, check out the fuel pump on the 83. I thought that one had 2. One in the tank and one on the frame. The 87-88's have just the one in the tank. So you might need to get the lines with it too. I dont know if the fittings are the same.

Thanks GT350R. I have already swapped out the crapy factory pump for an intank hp pump. So I dont have to worry about that.
I guess I will check it out tomorrow. Thanks guys.

I noticed that when I had my 85TC it held 22 gallons and my 88TC holds only 18 Gallons I think even in Chiltons it says that is all it holds
