Dave, you'll need the BB cable bracket too unless you want to modifiy the one you have. The original BB cable has a square retainer to hold the cable by the carb, the ones they sell now have a round grommet. Bracket # 3949071 for Quadrajet, 3949088 for Holley.

Dave,
Although the gas door is listed as fitting a 1968 through 1972, there is a difference in the them. The 1971 and 1972 gas door has two raised areas, one on the left side and one on the right. I have one of each but it will be tomorrow before I can get a picture of them to show the difference.

Dave,
In the picture of the two gas tank doors, the 1968-1970 type and the 1971-1972 type. The top door is off my 1969 and the bottom one is off a 1971 Chevelle. You can see the two raised areas I'm talking about. It's a small difference but I do not know how correct you want to be. The 1968 thru 1970 Nova, Impala's, and 1969 and 1970 Camaro's all have the same tank door.

Dave, in case you go used.... don't overlook the gas door from an Impala. I found that when the door is installed on the Impala, it does not seem to close very well. It is because the rear valance of the Impala, shares the two screws that mount the gas door. Once the two fasteners are loosened or removed, the door works and closes a lot better.

I ordered and installed a SBC throttle cable #3973862, but it's longer than the one I took off. :( :confused:

The shorter one I took off fits better. So I think this part number is wrong "3973862".
