The notched tanks are @ 1" deeper, and in my swap experienced about an extra 3-4+ gal capacity.

I run thru the valance twin tips, but even with those, the tailpipes are very close to the frame where they cross from inside the frame to the outside. That indent in the frame is what creates an issue when you can't run the tailpipe further back along that indent, even with the 2.5" pipes. Not sure how that is pre-70 A-bodies, but it is an issue for 70-72 models.

The crap in the gas clogged the 10m filter, but suspect the sock is also loaded up. I will order a new sock too, just in case.

In the drain pan where I was catching fuel between the tank & 10m filter, I even saw a green tint floating on top, looked like antifreeze to me. There were also brown cloudy 'clots' of crap floating in it. Even if I get all the metal and other solid crap out, the gas is unusable. At least in my car anyway.

I recently moved to a new area, and am not familiar with the stations & quality. I will have to hunt for a good station to buy premium, probably go a gallon at a time for samples and filter them and/or pour some in a jar for inspection. I will also ask some of the locals and car clubs at cruises/shows where a good station is. The area I live in is more rural than where I moved from, and I guess not many buy premium gas.

The Tanks Inc GPA-8 is the Walbro 450LPH pump, but guess because of other factors is only rated at 430LPH. Maybe the fittings or something restrict flow? Dunno. But they have the GPA-9 which is listed for a 'Hellcat', rated at 450LPH. Think that's a specific pump assembly made as a 'direct fit'.
