Heck yeah Mike, I like it a lot. I bought my Tanks, Inc./Holley tank setup for my 67 Firebird a while ago. Seeing your setup has got me wishing I had gotten one of those instead.
Nicely done, making it work, looks good too, minitubs next i see :) I attached my rollover valve on the a braket mounted to the top diffcover bolt. I did not bother to put a hoseclamp on the tube going into the barb. i checked it earlier this year, and sure enough the vent tube was no longer attached, it was dragging the ground and puking fuel at inapropiate times lol.
Ha! Yeah, MiniTubs would be awesome. Too funny, not funny, about the floppin around vent tube. I guess I need to consider using hose clamps. LOL. Thanks for sharing your story!
Next you should get a high and low beam relays, for your headlights to take some current off the headlight switch inside your car. It also makes your lights brighter it’s just a suggestion
Another good video. My Nova has a rollover valve installed by previous owner, that I thought was a vent. When I have a full tank, it spews gas out all over my chrome diff cover. Now I know I need to shorten the hose because it drops down, then goes up. So hose fills with gas then forces it out, like you said. Thanks for the tip, it helps all of us. I also installed a vented gas cap, so I wonder if I need this valve at all?
Thanks Mike. Great question about the vented cap... I have no idea how it would affect your tank. After you fix that hose dip, let us know how that vented versus non-vented cap goes. 😄 Thanks for the comment!
Great Video I think you should replace your older sending unit for more accurate sensor instead of 2 gallons at a time.but your probably already on it.
Ummm, it is brand new. Did I not make that clear? My point about the 2 gallons was there's a delay, which makes perfect sense, you don't want your gauge bouncing around, you want it to react slowly. All is good.
Hi Mike, thank you for responding to my earlier questions. I am watching your gas tank videos, specifically part 3. Ricks definitely makes a great tank. For the first time I decided to fill my tank, fortunately I used jimmy cans since my car is still not ready for the road. Shortly after I noticed fuel dripping onto the floor. I am having an issue with fuel leaking from the vent line. Your explanation of the do’s and don’ts of mounting this was really helpful. Can you tell me where you got the rollover valve. I might think of that as a check valve but I think that’s exactly what I need.
That's why I'm here... ha, ha... That roll over check valve I got from Summit Racing. Which, I never ended up using, as I couldn't find a good spot to mount it vertically. Anyway, as you noticed, keep those vent lines higher than the fill tube. Hope that helps!
@@davidrosenthal735 Ha! Good point... so, there are FOUR vents in the rear. The two that are the same size, where there's one of each on each corner of the tank... I want to say 1/4" diameter? I connected those two together, but looped up and over the differential. Those two are side to side motion vents, so it's cool to attach them together. That leaves the 5/16" and 1/2" vent, on the passenger side. I plumbed those up between the frame and body, exposed to environment, as high as I could get them. Hope that helps! (Ohh, those two are the front to rear vents, the big one being when you brake, air would push out of that one)
Good question Doug. There are several ways to vent it... I elected to not use the roll over valve, purely because I couldn't find a good spot to mount it. The two left and right vents, I vented together. Where the front/rear are vented to atmosphere above the frame/axle. I'm not 100% confident in the large vent, because under heavy braking, fuel comes out. I will be doing an add on video to this subject soon. Let us know what you end up doing.
I have no idea... :) Based on similar builds, I'd say 11's. I'd much prefer killing cones on an autocross track, versus drag racing. But, you never know. Thanks for the comment!

Great Video. Very professional installation and explanation.
Thanks! Much Appreciated!
Glad to see your sender worked out of the box!
Ha! Thanks Steve... all your fault I had to test it. Ha, ha... thanks!
Thanks Mike! Happy Holidays to you, and your's bud!
Thanks Brother! Same to you... I'll be taking some well deserved time off, need a break from GOAT projects too... but, not for long! See ya!
Good to see the GTO back on the road you done a great job on the tank 👍
Thanks Stephen! Yeah, it's only been about a month... but, felt like forever! Thanks again!
Thank You Fast Ponte !!!
Thanks Greg!
You are a treasure of knowledge. I am building a 66 GTO and I plan to copy a lot of your build. TIA.
Ha! Thanks... great to hear I'm helping. Can't wait to see your ride, git er dun!
Nice work. Looking forward to the car show video!
Thanks! Yeah, car show should be good... we shall see!
Heck yeah Mike, I like it a lot. I bought my Tanks, Inc./Holley tank setup for my 67 Firebird a while ago. Seeing your setup has got me wishing I had gotten one of those instead.
Ha! Thanks! You still have a good set up... and, I don't think these existed "a while ago", to help you feel better. Thanks for tuning in!
Nice work.
Thanks Chris! I really appreciate it.

Hello I have a 71 grand prix do have the part number for that ricks tank.
Unfortunately not... you're going to have to reach out to them directly. rickstanks.com/a-body-restomod/ Have fun!
Next you should get a high and low beam relays, for your headlights to take some current off the headlight switch inside your car. It also makes your lights brighter it’s just a suggestion
Great idea Glenn! Thanks for sharing! (I have LED's so, not super concerned, but great idea for all to see!) Thanks again.

So that’s why you didn’t mention it again. So if I recall there are three vent tubes on your tank, did you just stuff the hoses up in the frame ?

Did you add the rollover valve to the other 2 vents also…?

What's does this car run in the 1/4 mile ?
I have no idea... :) Based on similar builds, I'd say 11's. I'd much prefer killing cones on an autocross track, versus drag racing. But, you never know. Thanks for the comment!
