I just realizes that there are a number of sources for new gas tanks. Does anyone have experience with different tanks or are they all manufactured by the same source? Are they all the same? I also would like to know specifically what the difference is between the early (70-74) and the later tank design.
Thanks

Specifically, it’s just the evap mounting bracket on the drivers side of the tank that changes for early and late, correct?

yes.

-------

changeover date is during 74 model year.
PET is incorrect as it states end of 73 model year.

changeover pin pointed to end of first three weeks of Nov 73.
either side of weekend 18/19 November.
Vin number in range either side 4742909000.
all 74 2.0 L 914s bult before that date and vin have early gas tank and frunk char. can.
first three weeks of 1.8s are same.
after that tank changes and can goes to engine bay.

plastic expansion tank change is much later in May of 74.
causes no change to basic metal fuel tank.
