I believe all models with the filler in the fender used the same tank
except for FI cars that got an extra port on the bottom for the fuel
return line. So 68-73 are all rated to have a tank capacity of 10.6
gallons. However, I have occasionally put in over 11 gallons, so I
assume the stated capacity did not include the filler pipe.
