'73 vs. '89 Carrera oil tank
Is there any difference between a '73 oil tank and a late '80's vintage oil tank? I am especially interested in the capacity and internal baffling. The reason I'm interested is that I'm looking to replace the 1970 vintage oil tank in my race car with a larger better tank. I've been told that the Carrera ones work well. I have a '73 and possibly an SC tank, but no Carrera tank.

Yes. The '73 tank is 1 year only. It is very much like the '74 and later tanks, but has an aluminum removeable filter console. On later tanks, the filter screws right onto the tank.

Tyson - any reason to swap a '73 tank out for a later one, like a Carrera tank? Doesn't sound like it... Oddly, I happen to have the same situation as logician, but with a Carrera tank, not an SC one.
