I need to replace the tank in Mike's 69 Nova, I don't really care about it being correct, I prefer safer. Will the bent neck style 70 tank fit right in there?
(and where is "Quanta" located) Thanks. or, I could always launch my tank out to Sam for a quick repair!! ![]() ![]() |

Either style tank will fit perfectly. Just be aware that the if you use an EEC tank with the non-vented cap you should then use the sending unit with the extra outlets for the EEC - essentially the "vents". Otherwise, there is a risk of sucking in the tank.

#46A, the first one posted above, is the technically correct choice for the 69.
Quanta Website Located in MD. Others sell them. Greg

Spectra is a Canadian company.
http://www.spectrapremium.com/spectra.html They will not sell directly, but I talked to someone at their customer service desk who owns three big block Novas(name escapes me). I bought mine from Tamraz on E Bay for $149. I got prices for the same tank from Napa and Car Quest here in Canada for $800. and $550 respectively. |

I have purchased a "Canadian" tank from Tamraz for my Chevelle. Now I see many Nova catalogs are listing tanks, Ground Up, Classic Ind. OPG etc
Anyone have input on these other options? Are they all the same tanks? ![]() Thanks |

Canadian made Spectra sells their tanks to many retailers.
I was over @ TAMRAZ last week and they sell both SPECTRA,as well as tanks manufacturered in Taiwan. It's up to you the consumer to ask which brand of tank it is they are selling you. Ask to see the box too,as I had one tell me it was a Spectra,but refused to show me the shipping box,which woulda had SPECTRA on it...It turned out it came from Taiwan. |
