I have a 64, 65, and 66 I can check in the morning for orientation. I just replaced the tank on my 66, and the entire filler tube is inside the trunk. I think you are trying to put it in from the wrong side. The gasket goes on the inside between the tube flange and the fender skin then the screws come from the outside to hold it in place. It was kinda a PITA to get in there because I had to get the tube started into the tank (grease is your friend here!) then fiddle it to the fill hole while getting the tank and strap secured. IIRC it took a helper to get it done.Starting to get the gas tank and other items in. but how do I go about getting this gas neck in? Do I cut this little vent thing off and tap it for another vent thingy? I guess I could just cut enough off for it to go through the body? I do have a gasket to go between it and the body.

I went back into my gazzilion pictures, I’m such a geek sometimes. I was “this close” to cutting the darned thing!
Same here in my 66 V8 swap I have been doing and now enjoyed driving Victoria this year, a 7 year update slowed by loosing my 3 brothers during these 7 years, all 3 and Nella ride with me, Nella being @cosgig sweet doughter we lost just moths ago.
Yes, Hoppy is correct, save yours or get intouch with him, he has saved me a few headaches, my son did his 73 charger tank and first thing he did was laid the original ring outside with his old tank, When his new sender and tank came in we compared them, Thanks dad he said, I hung it on my peg boad and he didn't know it, ring was twice as thick.
