Have you checked the part #'s. If they are different it could indicate a mismatch. Even if it fit dimention wise it would probably have different fittings for fuel lines and return and evap and such. Im guessin you need a tank and found a good price on one from a 75. Wish i could provide more info for you.

The Corvette Parts Interchange Manual lists 4 gas tanks available in 1970.

One of those gas tanks, Part Number 3967749 was used in 1975.

3967749 was also used in 1971 (except LT1/LS6) for cars with EEC. That part number was also used in 1972-74. Two different gas tank part number follow during 1976 through 1982.


EEC = Evap Emissions Controls...it's that charcoal cannister and the two hoses to the carb/manifold....and one to the tank check valve and then a hose to the tank up top on driver's end....canister is under driver's fender, inside the side scoop....
