I patched it up, and for good measure I painted the outside completely with POR15, and used their fuel tank sealer on the inside.
Unfortunately.... I didn't think about the fuel tank sock when I poured the sealer in. And, now it's ruined.
I had heard that GM still had NOS ones for alot of cars, but their catalogs don't go back that far, even if they had them, there's no way to look them up.
Went to o'Reily's to see what they had, and they've got these funny little wick-like filters that go on the end for a modern system. I'd be happy to use one of these, but none of them have an appropriate sized neck on them.
With my idea tank running towards empty, my last option that I can think of, is to go buy a washing machine lint sock and stick it on there with a hose clamp
Really, it's not too different from what was on there, except maybe a little larger perforations. There's still the filter on the carb to catch what gets through that. And, with a sealed tank, there shouldn't ever be any debris in there...Any other options I've overlooked? Or does anyone happen to have the original GM part number for this? Also, if you have a lookup for these things, could I get the part number for the proportioning valve on a '69 Toronado with front disc? I'm doing a conversion, and this is the only part of the equation I don't own.
Thanks
I almost recommended the Wilwood part but that is not stock. Inline Tube should have what you need. Not certain the first image below is exact, but the second is for sure; I bought one and it is on my car now. There are two different bits, not sure which one you need. If you do not have the black on you will need it, and the first one doubles as a distribution block and bad brake sensor.
