It's the exact same one I have in my 71 Charger.. same 4 side vents. CR10A

I'll crawl under my Satellite tonight when I get home.

Its correct for a 71 and 72 up to I believe sometime in MArch when the vapor canister got moved to the front of the tank

Looks just like mine as best I can see with it in the car.

Raises a question for me:

How are the filler neck and pickup/sender assemblies attached? I can't see any evidence of screws on mine? Maybe it's in my service manual?

The filler neck goes in a large "o-ring" type seal, sender is held in the side with a gasket and large lock ring that holds it in. All should come with a kit, I think. If you have the manual or parts catalog, it's in section 14, fuel. Both have pictures of what I'm talking about

I have both 71 and 72 manuals, and neither one has a decent picture of the filler neck or the sender installations. However, a friend of mine showed me samples of both.

The piece they call a ground clip - this thing appears to make an electrical ground "jumper" around the short section of hose between the fuel line heading to the engine and the tube stub at the tank. I can't spot any ground clip on my tank, but the gauge works.

You are correct - the jumper is for ground. Scott.
