Canadian Delta

Can anyone tell me if any other 1966 models might have the same tank as my Delta 88??

Thanks so much

Unfortunately, Hollanders shows it as 1966 Olds full size except 98 only. Sorry.

A 1965 Olds B-body tank will bolt in, but you'll need the 1965 sender unit as well. Internal baffling is different between 65-66 and the sender float arm installed in the wrong tank will get hung up on the baffling.

Yup- you'da thunk all GM B-cars would use similar tanks.

I had a hunch. Hollanders is pretty conservative about interchanges like this. On the other hand, good luck finding a usable 65 tank...

You didn't ask how I know this...

Had I read the fine print in the parts book and dug far enough into the TIL's I'd have saved meself some grief. As it was, I figured we had a working 66 sender from the old tank so why chance the junkyard 65 sender?

You can guess what happened next. Bah, phooey. And I saw that the float arms were bent different.

The good folks at AutoInstruments up in Martinsville rescued us once again by rebuilding the 65 sender. I recommend their work. www.autoinstruments.com
