If I had one, I'd take my build sheet, and put it in a folder with all the papers associated withmy Vette. ( ....and put that in a fire safe[sm=smiley20.gif])
But ya, I hope the info works for ya.

Thanks to all for the help. My dry test showed a bad sending unit. I went ahead and bit the bullit and bought a new one from zip. I dont want to have to drop the tank again. The tank does have a bladder.There is a metal "shield" that encloses the top of the tank within the rear of the body. I took itoff the caralso to clean up a little rust andrefurbish while I was at it. On top of that is where I found what I believe is my build sheet. However it has no trace of anything legible. See attached pic.The previous owners put a few miles on my car. Didn't take real good care of it either. I'm making it better.

Is it faded, or just covered with crap?
I'd talk with the local librarian about possible restoration processes.
Just a thought ....

Covered with a pretty thick layer of very fine dust. When I carefully brushed it away on an area I can also tell it is completely faded. Guess I'll just put it in a ziplock bag and file it away.
