Ok so this weekend i finally get around to rebuilding the carb on my 76 dart sport the good ole 1 bbl holley and since i did that i figured i should drain the old gas outta the tank. I drop the tank since the gas had pretty much turned to varnish but i kinda figured as much since the car was only 500 bux. And low and behold the tank looks perfect from the outside not even surface rust. So i figured just drop it pour out the gas and clean out the fuel line and reinstall. NOPE! the inside of the tank is covered in rust the car was basically out of gas when it was parked so now it need a new tank, sending unit and prob new fuel line and fuel pump im guessing.

Its a 1976 dart sport w/slant 6 but im planning on swapping in a 383 i have the engine and mounts ready to go but i havent tracked down the other parts for the swap yet(like the disc brakes, 8 3/4 rear ect....)


Where is the best place to get a new tank, sending unit , filler neck grommet ect.....?

also do i buy the 5/16" sending unit or 3/8" unit since its gonna be a big block car soon but prob not till later in the summer/fall?

I am not sure it's the best place but eBay advertises those parts every week.
Try doing a search...

Screw Ebay, since they started mandating Paypal; if the item is not close enuf to drive and pick up so I can pay cash or of the seller will not accept a M.O., I do not need it!

Wow.... and I thought I was the only one that was pi$$ed-off at these crooks. :x It looks like ebag's plan to grab more $$ has more then a few people ticked-off.

Anyway, Does your tank have the vapor return set-up?
I have a few good used tanks I would be happy to sell.
Send me a PM.
