Had to remove my fuel tank this weekend. Its got a lot of fine rust clogging the filter and my fuel gauge will only go to half tank.
Seems the float arm on both senders is not located off center of the filler tube. I need to find a proper sender and need a new tank. Rinsed it out for now, but will order one to put in as soon as it gets back from the body shop.

Why not try Hinshaws........they're pretty reasonable.

Or if you have a radiator shop nearby they can boil it out and coat the inside .

I got a spectra tank from rockauto.com. When I was looking everyone recommended this tank. I always had good luck with Ground Up and I know several people who have there old tanks and never had any problems.

I went with the one from ground up. Doing the install Asap.
My car came back from body shop and I am very happy.
They installed new hood hinges, did the bodywork and painted and installed my rear valance.
Re painted the entire hood. It needed detail body work and some chips repaired.
The very lower part of the body along the entire sides was missed by original painter. He didn't bend over enough

These guys painted it. The all aftermarket front end is a challenge to get lined up. Hood, fenders,fender extensions, bumper, grille! Dam. Its really looking good. Just a bit more tweaking when it warms up out.

Looks nice. I just love the Heavy Chevy decals.

Looks good. Always nice to get them back. Watch that hood hinge, most of the after market ones I have seen are junk. If the other hinge was original and not bent it can be rebuilt.

Best guy around for hood hinge and door hinge repair.
