Just go to a rad and gast tank repair specialty shop. Sceptre is the name of the manufacture of these units and is a Canadian company based in Quebec. They are even making the older gas tanks with new style fuel injection pumps for doing the fulie engine conversions. The only bad part is the sock on the filter gets eaten up by the ethanol so use your old one or just eliminate it.

Sorry the vehicle is a 1967 Pontiac Parisienne I am not close to a rad shop but I can and will check them out If I try to order the tank and sending unit for a 1967 chevy impala Would they be the same? Many other parts are the same ,I have learned from members here

Yes, 67 Chevy Impala (non-station wagon) would be the same.   They may have different listings for 6 cyl & V8.   I suspect the 6 cyl would have a 5/16" fuel line, and the V8 a 3/8" fuel line.

A 283 will be a 5/16 line for sure but I think the 327 is always 3/8" by then.

And yes, as stated, Spectra Premium Industries likely has a tank and sending unit available. I got them for my 66 Pontiac without any trouble.

 .......if you are anywhere near Goderich go see Bob McGee at Car Quest on Suncoast (519-524-1966)......he handles a lot of the older stuff

and his parts guys are all good to deal with..........but Bob is better on the old stuff.

Been dealing with him for 10 years now and always great service....and he sells Spectra stuff
