The online parts database shows that part number as well.

I figured it would but I'm not a subscriber so no access, though the price looks pretty reasonable since I don't have anything later than the 5/74 MPC

Thank you guys for the thorough and timely info. I'll remove the tank over the winter and order up a '67 or '69 tank, assuming its visually and dimensionally the same.

For the sending unit, your best bet is to have it rebuilt. Nobody makes an aftermarket replacement for the full size models unfortunately... only Firebird, GTO, GP, LeMans, and Tempest I believe. I sent mine to TriStarr in upstate New York. "Fuel sending unit specialists" they call themselves... see http://tristarrradiator.com/

I read those recommendations for years (with a non-working gas gauge in my 69 Executive) before finally sending mine in a couple months ago for rebuild. It was in the neighborhood of $240 I believe, a little pricey but so nice to have it working again! No better time to have it done then when the tank is off, but they run about 3 weeks behind so Id plan around that and/or check with them first.

Thanks for the lead on TriStarr; Bob's Speedometer was another option I was considering as well.

When I looked a couple years ago there was nothing available as far as a new replacement sender for '68 Bonnie. However, I just found this link on ebay:

67-68 Pontiac NEW Replacement Dual-Line Fuel Sending Unit Catalina Bonneville

https://ebay.us/8AgpVc

Its under $100 shipped. Anyone here have recommendations for or against this?
