Anyone tried using an El Camino tank in their wagon. On paper it looks as though it should work. Just wondering...

 

The elky tank is on the side of the car like a Vista?

 

They both are under the back. I got the El Camino tank and installed it. The neck comes out further forward (about 6") and higher up on the side. I hole sawed the frame and added a gusset to the inside frame rail. I got the Spectra tank with pump/sender in tank. I'm doing an LS conversion and it should work fine. Hal

 

What year Vista? Late 60s and early 70s models had them on the side...

 

I need a sending unit for my '70 Vista.

Sorry, I cornfused this with another thread I posted on. I would like to find a replacement tank if the situation warrants though.

 

I have a 1965 VC. It looks like 64-67 used the same tank. The El Camino tank is the same size as the VC, there even is a flat place for the fuel neck where it 'should' be. Was able to reuse the straps and the tank fit perfectly except for the neck location. I was able to cut a piece out of the fill tube and reweld it to fit. Not a real big job for sure. BTW, the fuel gauge works great-had a bad sender in the old tank. Hal
