Can you change vent and filler tube

[72SwingerJosh]

I installed the 1969 filler neck with vent today. I also installed the 1968-1970 18-gallon gas tank, and it was a real pain to get it all aligned and fitting to seal correctly in the trunk floor seal. I installed the filler tube and the seal on floor first then put the tank in. That was the easiest way to get everything to line up and fit. Also, I looked at my old trunk floor seal and if you look the seal pushes into the floor this is how it seals, I was thinking the seal flange stuck out into the trunk area and it wouldn't make the angle to seal the filler tube It took a little trial and error, but it all worked out and all fit. I used a 1970 fuel cap which fit perfectly with the 1969 fuel filler tube being mounted from the inside.

Sweet!
How much did the new tube cost and did it come with the vent tube?

Mine was around $60. with a vent tube, that had to be slightly rebent. That's for a '69 Dart. They can get up to $80. depending on your application.

I got it on eBay for $45 and it came with the tube but tube needed tweaked. I may make a new one out of 1/4” brake line or see if I come across a good used one. The one I tweaked isn’t horrible because it’s behind the tube and you don’t see it. I also used a new repopped 1970 gas cap which easy to find.
