66' Toronado fuel system

[komondu]

Well it has been really difficult to find a donor Toronado with a good shape fuel tank around my hometown area (El Paso, TX).
Mine is pretty rusted out. I had it cleaned, sealed, and still rust gets caught in the fuel filter. Not to mention my sending unit is pretty rusted too and not very accurate.
I began searching online for fuel tanks apparently nobody sales the tank for the 1966 toronado model.
I was thinking maybe getting a fuel tank from a later Toronado model, I did found a 1975-1978 or so for mucho dinero!!
Could this fit my application? Those the filler neck fit?
Any ideas guys?

The later model tanks will not work. Not only is the shape different, but the later tanks are configured for evaporative emissions controls and non-vented cap. You'll need to keep looking for a good used one. Have you considered having your tank hot tanked to get it really clean before sealing?
