The last 2 tanks I bought for 68 Novas were Spectra brand and I bought them through rock auto parts. They fit perfect and looked great. I ordered the 3/8' tank line & sender as well and it also fit perfect.

Another vote for Spectra. Good quality and looks right.

Usually the original gas cap does not fit on the new gas tanks. For a 68 you will need a vented one.
