Gas Tanks and Fuel System Overhaul

[packman]

Does anybody make aftermarket or better yet, reproduction (OEM) fuel tanks for these cars (86 CV LX with EFI) or is this a JY only item? I will need to go to the JY anyway because I would like to get the fuel lines off of an 86 EFI CV anyways to make a pattern for newer and larger fuel lines. I figured that I am going to need a revised fuel system with the 331" stroker and I would like to try and get the pieces before it happens. I think Johnnie (Blaze) said that the in-tank fuel pumps are the same units that supply fuel for the 460 EFI trucks and vans. Were all of the EFI CVs equipped with these pumps or do I have to find one and ID it? That's all of the questions that I have for now.

You can buy fuel tanks brand new. I work at a parts store and it's rare, but once in a while someone needs a gas tank and we special order it for them. I don't know how helpful a large chain like AdvanceAuto would be (having dealt with them on only one occasion), but I work at a small-town one and we could easily get you one within a day or two.

Thanks for the info. I got a few larger auto chain stores to go to and a couple of the smaller ones as well. I will check with them and see what they got. Thanks again!!!!!!!
