Anyone running a fuel cell in their 65/66? I was thinking of upping the tank to a 1970 22 gallon, but then I thought about a fuel cell. (My infant son rides in the back seat, so money isn't really the issue here.)

Questions:

Easy fit?

Brand you advise?

How do you get the fuel gauge to work? (I'm no electrician, so speak in little words.)

Impressions?

Yes, I know, if I wanted to be REALLY safe, he'd only ride in his mother's VW Jetta, but that isn't an option all the time.

Lemme hear your advice, people.

Your best bet is a Fuel Safe cell. They have both 16 and 22 gallon versions. Here is a link to the Mustangs Plus site, but I would recommend shopping around before buying

i put the 16 gal in my '66 coupe, fits great, works well, but you need to make a little thing out of radio shack parts to get the signal from the sending unit to work right with the gas guage, no bid deal, costs like $5 and 15 minutes. my only complaint is that small stuff in your trunk (if you don't have something covering it), can fall in between the fuel bladder and the top piece of metal.
