Thanks! I will replace my sending unit and lines with '68 396 ones and just use a vented '68 cap. Emissions are not a problem as my '72 is exempt in PA. This started as a simple engine change and escalated into a full redo of the entire driveline and underside of the car. Got all the right rad/heat/mounts/springs etc.. new bushings, body mounts, frame connectors, 12 bolt, auburn posi, 3.73's, new leafs, fresh trans, converter ...Not to mention a completely fresh 454 with oval ports,solid cam,new intake,worked 3310... over my head but having a good time.

The vented cap won't fit on the non-vented tank, the lip is a different depth. It might be a good time to put a new tank in anyway - since you will have it down to put in the new sending unit.

Ditto on the gas tank and new lines. Very important for a newly redone carb and fresh engine.

Thank You!!! I'm already over my head so, what's a little more for a gas tank?
