I'm just getting caught back up here on the gas tank discussion. Are you saying your senders are under the bed? Every shortbed 16 gallon tank I've ever seen has the sender under the cab like soundmound's truck. Mine are that way as well. Only the longbed trucks got had the sender under the bed (20 gal tank, not sure where it landed on longbeds optioned with the 16gal tank/tanks)
On our 87 silverado (two 20's) the senders are pretty much between the cab and bed. So far, pulled down and fixed drivers. Whew doggies!

Y'all are bad influences.. all this tank talk..

Just placed an order for 2 new ones.

How do I tell my wife what I've done?
New tanks? 16 or 20's. Metal or poly?

I just removed the pos edelbrock carb and it looks like i won't need the adapter for the quadrajet like I thought I would. It looks like a spread bore intake is already on it. Right?

The quadrajet should bolt right up I'm thinking. Or would it hurt to use the adapter plate?

Id try with that's a cool looking adapter and yea that's a dual plane manifold perfect for daily truck dutys

355 SBC, about 10:1. Cam unknown, runs about 15-16 mmHg at 750 rpm. Timing is set to 35 total at about 3000, initial is 14 deg. Edelbrock 650 CFM AVS2. 461 60s era Camelhump heads.
Will it rev clean in park/neutral?
What converter and trans?
Just my opinion but you're missing 3 or more degrees of timing with those heads
