This is the kind of stuff I got on this site for. I don't have the 400-500 to order one from the rod shops. It is a great fitting tank.
I can tell you for sure that on the 70 Mustang tank the mounting flange is not level with the top of the tank like the 64-66 is. I know because my brother and I are restoring a 70 Mach 1, and we've done several 64-66's. On the 64-66 the top of the tank is level with the mounting flanges and when installed becomes the trunk floor. Hope that makes sense.
Here's a shot of our 70 tank....
