I ordered a new tank for the wagon. This tank is advertised to fit "64 65 66 67 Chevelle Station Wagons and El Camino's". The Gas Fuel Tank is part number GM37E and is available for about $160.00 including shipping (EBAY). Because of the lack of availability of a tank that will supposedly fit my tempest I decided to gamble and order this tank. The pictures do not do well for comparison sake but they are dimensionally identical in every way that I can measure.
Looks the same from this angle too.
Aint it purty too!
Now here are some pics of the sending unit. Notice that the filter is completely roted away.
I need help to determin if I need to order a sending unit for a '64 or '65 Chevy wagon. Again, there are not any part numbers available for a replacement for a '65 Pontiac Wagon. So, my Chevy wagon buddies need to chime in here....What year does this look like? Apparently the '64 and '65's are different.
Here is a shot with the reconditioned straps mounted and ready to install.
Here is a shot with the frame and underside cleaned and painted.
And the tank is installed and ready for gas.
