I contacted the manufacturer directly, several years ago when I needed a tank. They told me they were not making it anymore. Maybe that has changed. I see on their web site they still list the tank, but not the sending unit (tube assembly).

I am quite certain the Spectra tank is now available through O’ Reilly Auto Parts under the Precision name. I hope to confirm soon, as I am in need of one.

I see it's listed on their web site. It would be good to know if it's in stock. Two stores I checked were out of stock.

marlinh,

If you look closely, it ONLY "ships to home" so the stores always show out of stock. I got one last fall when Autozone was "carrying" them (again, ship to home only). I will post some pics later this week, the tank I ordered over the weekend (from O Reilly) is supposed to show up tomorrow, right at $250 with tax and shipping.

It appears there were financial and name changes late last year. The new “Precision” tank appears identical to the Spectra tank I purchased last fall, save the name (and higher price).

bumping this - I updated the parts wanted in the top post and title.

TLDR: I'm looking for a pre-87 headlamp/grill setup or 87/88 headlamps (reflector de-laminition is fine) and/or an SR5 gauge cluster for less than the price of a full parts car.

Not much help here, just this grill with some broken tabs.

@Professor - sent you a pm.

@NWMO - that actually helps for reference. The grill on the car now was cut down to allow the later headlights, so it helps to have a reference picture to compare my spare grill to and see if anything was cut off of it in the testing process.
