Well I learned something today. 1961 had a one year only tank and a reserve it was an option in 61 for a fuel gauge. The car came with a reserve valve/lever so I assumed that it had a hump tank so I searched and found this beauty.

well it didnt fit so I did my homework and found that a 61 had a one year only tank, the difference being that it is similar to a 62-67 tank but does not have the cut out hole for the sending unit, and it has a reserve lever.
I never knew that a flat tank had a reserve lever. On another note I also learned that in the European market the standard version had a reserve lever up until 67.
