Howdy, looking to buy a few fuel tank socks for the 1970 Toronado sending unit.
Any information or source would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Carmen.

You can still get them from GM, just need the modern part #. That is where I got mine... I don't remember where I got the number orriginally though...

Re: Fuel tank filter sock
You know, I thought I tried that with the original part # a few years back and they said they couldn't find it listed and had no cross reference. Maybe I'll try to dig into another newer parts book and see if it's listed there under a different number. In the meantime, if you happen to find the number, please let me know. Thanks.

Re: Fuel tank filter sock
Ah, i found my original info... It doesn't list the 70 specifically though I imagine it is the same...
The original part number for a '66 Toro in-tank gauge filter is 5651292. This is the same part used on all 400 engine '66 F-85 models, and all '66 full sized cars with air conditioning. This is a different number than used in the '67 Toronado.
By 1983, that 5651292 filter changed to a 5651711. The new number applied to:
'65-'66 all 400, 425 eng. with a/c, exc. Toro
'66 Toro
'67 Toro
'68-'69 400 eng.
'70 F-85, Cutlass & Supreme with 2bbl and a/c, exc. SW
'70 442
'70 F-85 & Cutlass with Outside Air Induction.
5651711 is still available from your friendly, local GM dealer, with limited stock in Memphis and Fontana, CA. Should sell for around $20.

...aaaand lucky me, the 1970 is different. 
The original part number is 5651422--mounts differently.
Thanks for looking, Carmen

- Years Owned: My first Toronado was a 1968 W-34 with the bucket seats and center console... (weeps gently) It was a New England rustbucket in 1982 after less than 14 years. So sad. But it is what infected me and before I knew it I had another '68, a '69, a '70 and eventually inherited a friend's '67 and another friends '73. After buying my brand new Grand Prix in 1988 I retired the last of my Toronados and pulled the 455 I had rebuilt along the way and put it into storage in a friend's barn where it is to this day.
In Mid September of 2010 I happened to see a repeat of the show where Jay Leno did his 66 Toronado and had an instant remission of the disease which resulted in my purchase of a 1969 in very good condition. I am now in the process of fully rehabilitating it and hope to have it on the road in the spring of 2011. - Location: Gig Harbor, WA
Re: Fuel tank filter sock
I may need one of these for my '69 which I would think would be the same as '68 and '70 - I hope. I assume you are talking about the fuel gauge sender assembly? If so, any tips as to where to get it would be nice; I am dropping the tank again this weekend as the guage is not reading properly. I know it is electrically operating as it pulls down from past full when the wire is connected, but it reads empty even when full.
I should add that my fuel sender assembly is a fairly non-descript cylinder that drops in from the center of the tank. It has the fuel line coming out and heading across the top of the tank to the passenger side front corner of the tank. A small... doh!
a small sock hangs off the bottom. That is what you guys are talking about, not the entire assembly. Oh well. If anyone knows where to get the full assembly it would be nice...
