Late-model falcon that is,

You mustang/early year falcon people have it made.
Need one for a 66 and been having a heck of time trying to find one. Just wondering if you knew any good sites/companies that branch out.
A hole just randomly showed up the other day and now I have two drain plugs . . .

About at wits end, contemplating a fuel cell since its a half street/strip car anyways.

Is it a drop in like the Mustangs or does it use straps like a Fairlane? I was thinking that you should look at a Fairlane?

Drop-in.

It has tabs with screws.

My big problem is that everyone stocks stuff for 60-65s, I have multiple catalogs here at the house and can't find anything in there or online.

Does anyone have the dimensions for a 65-66, 67-68 mustang tank?

The obvious difference is the location for the filler neck. But if the dimensions are the same . . .

i'm pretty sure fuel safe will make custom cells for people, but they are pricey.

The 65 tanks are available thru Dearborn Classics. You could call and ask what the difference is.

Thanks for all of the help guys.

Decided on going with a aluminum fuel cell since the car is seeing less and less street time and more time at the track.
