You were smart to bend it before you put in on the car. Glad it worked out for you.

It's pretty much the same as Greg's, and I had the same problem with the filler neck. I had to bend it to make it fit the opening in the bumper. Wasn't too bad. If I had it to do all over again I would have gone to Advance. Frankly, I never thought of that at the time.

Bumping an ancient thread! I am in need of a new gas tank for my '68 Lemans. The original tank was fine, but I removed it when I was planning to go with an in-tank pump. I got the new tank and gave the old one away. Now I have changed my mind on the in-tank pump and need an original type tank.
My question - does anyone manufacture a correct '68 tank? I know I can modify a '69 tank and I'm ok with that; I'd just prefer something ready to bolt in if it's available. Thanks, Scott

the 69 style works fine & Spectra made a nice looking & fitting tank. you just have to bend the filler neck up a bit to have it sit where its supposed to in a 68, but its really no big deal. The one I bought was made in the Spectra Canada plant. I was very happy with it. I assume they still make them there?

Here's a later thread to show a simpler way to get the '69 neck aligned with the '68 bumper opening. Very easy but you have to keep a close watch on the solder joint. It could be touched up easily with a butane torch or big watt soldering iron if necessary.

It's about time someone did that.

Good deal. Make sure that there's no spider web cracks in the solder.
