64' Catalina Fuel neck O-Ring Inquiry!
I need to replace my fuel tank on my 64' Catalina, I have the new tank and sending unit however the O-Ring for the filler neck seems to be an issue!
I have searched the forum however there does not appear to be anything recent on this topic. I spoke with the suppliers of the tank and sending unit, Auto City Classics however they do not stock the part or recommend where to find one other than a auto supply chain like NAPA. The problem is that none of the auto parts have a listing for the correct part so trying to order one is just a guess and a gamble! Surely these things are available for the correct application(Fuel tanks and not Dairy farm equipment) does anyone know who possibly has this product or what the correct overall dimensions are for it? I have seen some listed on e-bay or amazon but who knows if these things are correct or not? I appreciate in advance any feedback on this topic! |

Ames sells them. I think they are $4.00 but I ordered one a week ago and they were back ordered.

My neighbor had a '57 Pontiac and he gave me the spare o-ring he had which worked fine for my '63.

I appreciate the input from everyone and I will reach out to these other suppliers.
I am not sure on that 57' Chevy comment however if the O-Ring from a 57' Pontiac works on a 63' then that comment is probably correct and if that's the case what started out to be a challenging search just got a whole lot easier!! This is what is missing from the old school auto parts days when you could throw out your request and the manager working down the counter would overhear the conversation and he would (with out even looking up) yell down the counter "pull up a Gates # XXXXX for a 63 Olds ' Starliner Wagon as it used the same part!" Thanks again! |

Parts book 3710537 58-64 exc. 61-64 Wagon. To bad it doesn't give diameters and cross section. Then perhaps a search of McMaster-Carr would come up with something of the proper rubber composition. But maybe someone lists that GM part number for something else.

I ordered one from Les a few years ago and the part arrived fine.

Pretty sure I have an extra 64 GTO piece if that will work.
