I think you are correct Lefty. Seems to me, the one in my 63 Acadian wagon does the same sort of thing.

I think the stock one is bare inside as well, is it not?

I can check. I tthink I still have the one off my 65 SD or the one  off 67SD396's Acadian wagon, one of the two.

 No that is the way it should be now that you have a big block in it.

GM never figured out how to make a proper gasoline gauge. They read differently going around corners, parking on a grade you name it. Very common on acceleartion.

Weld some baffles in the tank (empty gas first)blankstare (just kidding).

My current car's tank does the same, my '68 442 did the same.
