hi all my new kid in town, the 75 Grand Ville , is a car that says: i will have a lot of parts and a lot of love ok, the parts i have fixed. a brand new edelbrock carb and a brand new HEI distributor sounds much better than before http://youtu.be/LdrXIPn_WS0 next week i install the new add a leaf springs on the rear end pictures are coming today arrived the new gas tank, i feel better when this stuff is in place. any tricks for changing ? Made in Canada greets Klaus
When I install a new tank, I always give it about 3 coats of spray on rubber stone guard first. For a tank I use the black tar stuff, and let it cure well. I do top and bottom. Then anything that collects on top of the tank can't hurt the mettal, and the stuff on the bottom protects from stones and things. Keeps a tank looking great for years! Also, easy to touch up as need be down the road. Just mask off around the holes for the sending unit and vent tubes, so you don't end up with any in the tank. Also, if your old straps are not up to par, check with Canadian Tire. Their gas tank supplier has straps that are not listed in the store computer system. I had to wait over night for a new pair for the 79 Thunderbird, and at $35 a pair, they were certainly cheap enough.
Since the tank is brand new, why not get it powdercoated . The tank I had made for my wagon is powdered which makes it look great and is safe from corrosion. just a thought since this is a new tank.
ok, a lot of new parts and a lot of money the new tank is now in place, but that was not easy. the last owner has welded the back side parts a little bit too big but it´s done the brake booster and mastercylinder is also replaced cleaning the engine bay in place all Brake parts are new, incl. brake lines ,hoses, wheel cylinders, calipers and so on test with the 17" rims
Looks good. Did you use a BFH to make that that tank fit? Owning a GTO I may be slightly biased but I think all post 1965 Pontiac 400's should be Pontiac metallic blue with chrome valve covers and air cleaner lid.
i think the most work is done all systems works good, last week comes a new radiator inside the car and much other small parts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b15NQiXSzBY&feature=share&list=UUz0gxqLg3owccTgtqnBQLoA
