Same here on using the Spectra Premium tanks and sending units.

Spectra tank is in my 69 Camaro & the 70 Cuda. No problems. If you have the original sender you might want to get it restored, although some say no problems....Joe

Be careful!!! The finish on the latest Spectra tanks I have seen is now a PAINTED grey paint finish.....NOT the original ternes steel/natural finish that Spectra used to sell.

This was in the last two months on a '70 Buick GS tank and a '72 Olds 442 tank....both Spectra brand.

ALSO - important - the description/listing on RockAuto's site for the Spectra tanks is INCORRECT as they don't indicate the painted finish. Still indicates a natural or terne steel finish. Outright incorrect.....I was able to return the '70 GS tank b/c of the misleading description.

Not 100% sure if this applies to the Camaro or Firebird tanks but you better check first before ordering.

This has to do w/Spectra tanks only.....there are other brands that may still have the terne steel finish. Auto City Classics offers a Taiwan-made terne steel Abody tank but my buddy ordered one of those a month ago (Buick GS) and it was extremely scratched up on the underside (the side you see when installed).

I think Spectra has moved their production offshore as well.

You might do some further digging/research before pulling the trigger on a Spectra tank....MIGHT avoid some disappointment and headaches.
