Gotcha.
Just checked and yup, I looked at it and missed it at the same time.

Completely understand...
I am using a stock 66 suburban tank and also the tank behind the seat on my 66 build.
Wired it up with a 79 dual tank wiring harness and set the switch just under the seat in the center so I can keep the stock look everywhere and still reach it.
I want to be able to drive as far as possible between fill ups.
Like my work truck, it beats me up when I fill it but I fill it 1-2 times a month.
Like this mornings fill up...
