I am looking to get a new gas tank for my 70. They have 2 listed here (http://www.ss396.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=Nova&Category_Code=fuelandexhaust) at ss396.com. I am assuming that I should go with the one that is strictly listed for a 1970 opposed to a 70-72.

Should I be looking into a new sending unit too? Yearone has one here (http://www.yearone.com/serverfiles/fbshopmain2.asp?cat=6) : a tank, filler neck and sending unit setup for $250.

Would a new sending unit fix my broken gas gauge?

Thanks for the help

Would a new sending unit fix my broken gas gauge?
Jason

If the sending unit is the reason the guage doesnt work then replacing it will fix it.....however if it is not the reason the guage doesnt work then replacing it will not likely fix it...

would the sending unit be a plausable reason on why the gauge doesn't work?

1970 models used 2 different tanks, one with E.E.C. and one without. I have the without one on my '70 model, and it uses a vented cap. The one with E.E.C. (used on some 70 models, and all 71-72 models) has 3 vents at the top front, and uses a non-vented cap.

You gauge not working could be the sending unit if the wiring is faulty. I'd check your ground on the sending unit first before replacing it.

RVA SS,

What exactly is the fuel guage doing? stuck, not moving or moves some? hpg
