    Hi Everyone-
    I'm starting to restore my Dad's 1971 Maverick and the fuel tank looked more like a sieve than a tank. I'm going to put in a Spectra F30 tank and was wondering if any of you have experience with this and the associated changes to sending unit and vapor unit? Any advice and part recommendations is appreciated.

    I can't help you with that since I have a 70 with the drop in tank but I'm sure you will get the answers you need in a short while - good luck with your tank :)
