What does this gas tank fit ?

[MailOrderMotion]

I picked this up at a garage sale of all places and I intend to resell it unless it turns out to be '69 Camaro. I have always been a 67 / 68 Camaro guy and this sure isn't that. My guess is '70 Nova, but it's been decades since I've had a tank out of a Chevelle or Nova. Super nice assembly line tank and from what I see on the sheet it was nicely equipped too. Thanks for any help.

Looks kind of like the one in my 71 Nova -- except there are not a zillion hose connections on the front top side.

[earntaz]

Dang -- must be an echo ...

[resto4u]

fuel line on tank is not camaro or nova.

[earntaz]

You're right -- Nova extends to the pass side ...

I want to say 2nd generation Camaro/Firebird with those front outside corners angled inward like that.1969 Camaro & 1970 Novas were uniform there.
Specifically 1970 Camaro with a 350/300HP,RPO D-92 décor tape stripe & a Jan.'70 date on it as well.

[njsteve]

Broadcast sheet remnant indicates it had a 350/300hp engine!

[PeteLeathersac]

Sure looks like a '70 Camaro tank me too.
Sender/lines may differ w/ or w/o EEC?

The pick up is just sitting there, it was loose when I got it. I'm sure the orientation is off. What surprised me is no vapor return on a small line pick up. Charcoal cartridge car ? 350 / 300, 4 speed, posi and 3:31, console, stripe kit. Must have been a neat car. This appears to have been pulled pretty early as clean as it is. Inside is just as nice. I'll be there is a tale there. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2015/09/full-77-31315-022.jpg

Don't go for certain by the buildsheet notating NA-9 charcoal cannister there...That's no indication it actually recieved it,but rather just that it was assumed to be maybe sold brand new in,or near California.
It's obviously not an E.E.C. tank anyway.

[MailOrderMotion]

So a VN built '70 Camaro tank. With the codes, 'Bird would not be the original application. Would it be the same tank or would Pontiac have a different configuration ?

What is an assembly line tank in this condition worth ? Any opinions ?

My thanks to everyone.

[Mr70]

The buildsheet showing that specific engine/horsepower shows it didn't come in a 2nd gen Firebird orginally,but that aside,yes,a 2nd gen Firebird would use that same tank I believe.Both it,or 2nd gen Camaro without the E.E.C. NA-9 charcoal canister of course.(No 3 end nipples or bypass hose on the filler neck)
I don't know what someone is or isn't willing to pay for it today.

[MailOrderMotion]

Pricing is always a crap shoot. I'm not interested in squeezing out the top dollar, but I don't want to sell everything for 1/2 of what it is worth either. It's tough to keep going if you do.

My thanks to everyone who helped out !

Here is a 70 Camaro tank but with NA9 option.

[MailOrderMotion]

Hose on the neck and 3 nipples on the rear ? Wow.

[fsc66]

Strictly going by the build sheet and comparing to all other models 1969-1970, my best guess would be a 1970 Camaro. Options all line up and they don't for any other 1969 or 1970 model. Boxes follow the same format and numbering also.

ditto, Van Nuys built 70 Camaro SS350 4 speed, possibly RS with that tape (door handle)

[fsc66]

Agreed, quote from another site: All below from this thread if anyone wants to read it all:


http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-77414.html

&quot;The RPO D92 Decor Tape was the code used for the Door Handle Decor Tape on 1970 thru 1981 Camaro's and was used to add a body colored tape to the door handle

The RPO D92 Decor Tape was an Option that was used with RPO Z21 Style Trim Group or with RPO Z22 Rally Sport Package

Although listed as part of the RPO Z21 Style Trim Group on 1970-81 Camaro’s and part of the RPO Z22 Rally Sport Package on 1970-73 Camaro's the RPO D92 Decor Tape is also listed on Van Nuys Build Sheets as RPO D92 Decor Tape and looks like an Option by its self but was a part of the RPO Z21 and RPO Z22 Options

The RPO D92 Decor Tape Option will be listed on the Van Nuys build sheet along with the RPO Z21 Style Trim Group which includes the body colored door tape, bright accent moldings and bright accent taillights

The RPO Z21 Style Trim Group Option is replaced by the RPO Z22 Rally Sport Option which includes all of the RPO Z21 Style Trim Group Options

The RPO D92 Decor Tape Option will also be listed on the Van Nuys build sheet with RPO Z22 Rally Sport Option that also includes the body colored door tape, bright accent moldings and bright accent taillights like RPO Z21 Style Trim Group Option.&quot;

That fuel tank sender does not look like my 70 VN Z28. Mine looks like a 69 sender. I am away from my tank, but will look at it when I get home.

1 70 date code is actually August 69. Made in first month of production for the 1970 model year.

[MailOrderMotion]

I can't say if this is the original pickup, only it's the one that was with it when I got it. The locking ring was not present when I bought it.

That said, it fits perfectly and only one way - out the front. After I said it may not be registered correctly, I checked it and it was. Only fits one way. I'm used to the older style units and don't know when the switch was made to the internal float types.

I'm lovin' the info here.

[resto4u]

monte carlo ?

[Jonesy]

Its not a 69 L48 sender as the L48 had 2 lines and that build sheet isn't 69 Camaro either. Its a 70 or later
