get one of these, fill it, then run the car round till it is empty, then pour a couple of pints in and drive home... petrol in the eye really hurts, a lot.

I don't know owt about spi tanks though, sorry

Most probably not mate theres like 4 different versions for all Nova's. IIRC when I visited vauxhall for a sender for my carb tank theres was 2 dfferent types for my year. They told me the one for my car was NLS, checked it against the cars chassis number. When I emptied my tank I took out the sender and it was the other version which they can supply (thank god although it was £64)

From a carb to an spi I would asume that the likely hood is that they are dfferent. If you got half a tank then you may get away with not spilling fuel when the back is on ramps but its gonna be touch and go. Drain the tank if you can be bothered.
