late '60's mustang tanks seem to work well for guys. I am going to be using one but have yet to install it.

just know that the f*#d fuel guage sending units are slightly off and opposite. I dont know the exact ohms of either but pre-'65 chevy is something to effect of 0(empty) to 30(full) ohms and pre '87 f*#d fuel sending units are something to the effect of 73(empty) to 8-12(full) ohms.

so, your chevy guage would read off and backwards with a f*#d sending unit in the tank. I am going to just use an auto meter fuel guage with appropriate ohms for the mustang sending unit.

I recommend the 16 gallon universal tank from Tanks, Inc.
