Maybe I am too picky about the alignment of the tank and the neck but...I started out putting a 69 tank in my 67 fastback. The alignment was way off. 69 tanks have the opening about an inch and a half further back than the 65-68 and 70 tanks. Luckily the shop had a 69 that was being worked on that needed a tank so I didn't have to eat the tank or the return shipping. We put in the 70 tank and it was close but not quite right. We ended up having a muffler shop bend a pipe and then welded the cap flange on the end. That was after we tried three different year filler necks.
I like how the tank height is even with the trunk sides. It will make carpeting much easier. A standard trunk mat won't fit correctly now.
that's why you have to bend the neck on the tank itself, not the filler tube. you put a piece of pipe/tubing in the neck of the tank and pry on it until you get it in the right place. i don't know why the 70 tank would be any different than the 69 tank you had, mien were identical in that respect.
The tank in question is the 1970 non-emission tank that holds 22 gallons of fuel, versus the 69-70 emissions tank that holds 20 gallons.
