In preparation for my new tank, I removed the old one with a crack in it. Its such a shame as the original tank is in amazingly good condition. Oh well, its done 54 years, that's probably enough. First I cut the old hoses off near the tank. This is an ECS car, so has the 4 nipples on the side...

So far I have been impressed with Tanks. I am looking forward to receiving the goods in my hot little hand. Sorry to hear about your work woes, good luck getting it in and running. Let us know when you do.

I have a 10 day wait until it arrives here, then I will install it. Let's see who gets theirs in first. You have a head start on me lol

New tank is on order. As soon as it comes in I will document the changeover in this thread. Decided to go with the Tanks Inc tank and sender as suggested by @1 Wild R/T I tried to find stock components to go back in but its very difficult to get them. Spectra have discontinued...

I would look at running one of those tanks with the sender, but Tanks Inc don't do a tank for ECS with 4 vents. If I was to convert to non ECS, what would I need to do to make it work?

I will be dropping the tank today to fully inspect. I can clearly see a tear in the metal where the lock ring locks into. I am sure a new tank is in order. That will mean new hoses, clamps, sending unit, gas tank pad. It sure adds up, but it will be done properly. I will report back when I have...

Yes that's true. I will see what I can unearth, but that is an option.

One thing I didn't mention, my car is an original California car and comes with the 4 vents to the vapor separator on the side of the tank.

I will check them out. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice Randy. Car is a 1970 Coronet Convertible 383 4 bbl.

Lol, my heart was beating out of my chest. I only took the picture because I was trying to see where it was coming from.

Today was a bit of a disastrous day for me. Yesterday, I pulled the fuel sending unit and discovered that is was a junk Chinese one that had replace the factory original. I tested it and realized it was a hopeless cause as the readings were vastly different than what they should be. I looked at...

If you choose to go for a different carb, please send me a PM as I am looking to buy one of those 4732s carbs.

That's brilliant, thanks so much for that.

I have asked this before, but buried in another topic so figured I would ask in isolation. Does anybody have pictures of carb linkages and throttle spring details? Carb is a 4 barrel Carter and I have an RV2 compressor mounted for air con. 1970 383 B motor. Please post up if you have this setup...

Yep, my mistake, breather hose. Thanks for the pics.

Thanks Roger, I will check them out.

I have an air cleaner missing its vacuum lines. I would like to get the correct ones so it looks right at least. Year One have them, but at $37.22 x 2 plus their extortionate shipping rates, the total cost is over $96.00 for two lengths of 3ft hose. I don't mind paying good money for restoration...

I have done a lot of tube bending and I can tell you that Swagelok is the bomb.
