Re: [Amc-list] Definitive fuel tank fitment

["Graham, George W (GE Infra, Energy)" <george.graham@xxxxxx>]

Just for the record (and further confusion!!), my '79-'88 AMC parts
books list the following for Spirit/Eagle gas tanks (less sender): 

'80-up Concord and Eagle (non SX/4 models) = 8131654

'79-up Spirit and Eagle SX/4 = 8127669

>From the parts book illustrations, the 2 tanks are quite different
regarding sender and vapor return line locations, and shape of the tank.

Note however that the 8127669 also appears once in the '73-'78 parts
book as fitting ONLY the '77 Gremlin.

Jim-

For my 4.0L 79 AMX, I actually used an XJ Cherokee fuel tank. The only
thing I had to do was relocate the fuel filler to the center rear.
Otherwise, it's the exact same shape and size, and if you're swapping to
fuel injection, you can still use the stock XJ fuel pump.

What gas tanks (besides the SX4 and Gremlin) will fit my '82 Spirit
hatchback? Will the Eagle wagon tank fit? The rust in this tank has
annoyed me for the last time and I need a clean tank for doing the EFI
swap. (can't ship gas tanks UPS anymore. DHS paid me a visit after I
steam cleaned, soaked in TSP and shrink wrapped one to send.)
