I have a friend who has a 66 Big Tank, 425 hp, car Blue/Blue. While doing a frame of on it I took some pictures of the tank set up and the markings on yours were done by the same person. His reads OK 12-9-65 H.S. I seen many tank set ups, in and out of cars, some with the NO3, written correct.

I don't think I've ever seen an underside picture of a big tank car before and I may not be seeing it clearly in the above. But - considering my car grenaded a half shaft and shreaded the floor in one of it's former lives - is that the fuel tank right in front of the half shafts??? If so I'm not sure I would be real comfortable with that during hard starts and shifts.

Its a shame to say but most of these big tanks dont get driven...
sadly enough, whoever buys this car will probably only have to worry about keeping it clean!
