And after earlier posting that my Spectra tank(2nd gen) was good (65 Cutlass) .... Pump failed yesterday...Lots of gas in the tank...maybe 5K miles on it since I installed it last summer...
Im going to put a Walbro pump in next week when I get it and cross my fingers. I want to drive this car across the country starting later this summer and Im not happy about worrying over pump issues in the middle of nowhere.

Geez, I posted to this thread 4 years ago.
Tanks Inc. all the way. Fuel sender is a little cheap, but looks factory, baffled, and Walbro pump. Need I say more. I bought one of these when they came out. Back then I remember it was very cost competitive with the Spectre tank.
The only issue is they have you use the vent thing they supply and a locking gas cap. This is wrong as it only vents one way and not both. Use either a venting gas cap, or if you don't like vapors hook it to a charcoal canister. Went the second route and haven't had a vapor lock issue and have a non gas smelling garage.
