Recognizing the fact that this is coming from a novice, I think you might find that this may not work. I just dropped the tank on my 56 Clipper Cust. Const. The entry hole on my tank is directly on the top of the tank, whereas the pics of the Chevy tank show the hole more to the front and on an angle. I am not sure of the electrics but I would be doubtfull, but good luck in any event.


Al, I just dropped this tank out of my running Clipper Deluxe. The tank itself works just fine and fits perfectly. I'm not sure if the filler tube enters in a different spot on the 56 cars or maybe just for the clipper deluxe like I've got.

I'm trying to sort out the electrics for the gauge. If I can't get this to work with the stock gauge, I'm considering adding a separate aftermarket gauge for the fuel level. It would be much cheaper to do rather than installing a packard tank for $250 (max merrit pricing).
