Found WTB gas tank for my ‘69 1600.

I think any pre ‘74 tank will fit (except tii)

located OC/Southern Cal.

After purchasing several rusty tanks for my 1600 I gave up and went to Ireland Engineering where they sold me a MVP remake of the early tank for $350. That was about 3 years ago. It fit pretty well, but is a hair taller by about 1/16" - 1/8" vs. the original. To compensate for this I simply reduced some of the felt padding under the trunk floor. I recommend this route as you will never have to worry about your tank again. It seems they are out of stock now, but give them a call and ask when they expect their next shipment.
