Chances are the new universal fuel gage sender will not work accurately with your factory gage. The output voltage has to match your factory gage exactly. You may have to buy a remote mounted fuel gage that matches the voltage output of your new sender. You will still need to calibrate the float arm to the new gage. Best done with the tank off.

A 1986 Toyota gas gauge sender is rated at,

full= 3 ohms +-2

1/2 = 32.5 ohms +-4

empty= 110 ohms +-7

written 110-3 ohms, most universal senders are 90 ohm and reversed, written 0-90 ohms. There are reversed units but the resistance is wrong, 240-33.

You basically need the correct Toyota unit
