Not sure if this will help. I had to switch out tanks in my dodges. I put the tank from my 69D 100 into my 70D 200. My tank sizes were different but I was able to make the tank from my 69 work in the 70. The lower bolt holes in the tank flange lined up with the tank mounting holes in the 70 but since the tank from the 69 was smaller the top tank flage bolt holes don't make it to the upper mo

Just wanted to add something from my experience with that little gizmo. At least make sure the butterfly gate on that is stuck open. If you intend on driving your truck before you get it fixed.

Maybe in a week or so I can get out and get started.

I have recently had the 383 in my 70 D200 rebuilt. Almost everything under the hood is new or aftermarket new, with a few items remanufactured parts. I'm having a consistant problem that I just can't seem to solve.
