Default Re: 68 Nova fuel tank

I used the eastwood tank paint on another nova and liked it but haven't had that one out in the elements yet so I am not sure how it holds up to rain and being washed... It did look nice though

This Nova was purchased last year from St.Louis with 32,000 miles and was garaged for at least the last 10 years. The owner said he cranked it every couple of years when state inspection time came around so I figured the carb was just gummed up from sitting and it might smooth out somewhat with me driving it. It did get better but definately wasn't working correctly. It would lose its prime after a day of sitting as well and I thought the diaphram in the pump was going bad. I now think all the problems were caused by trash in the tank...
