Fuel tank connection

Does anyone know if the late model (1962-up) fuel tap will fit the early tanks?

I'm looking to remove the reserve valve as the new E10 fuel is killing the rubber seal

yes it will fit, I took of the reserve on mine and installed the later set up.

You can make the tap valve seal out of cork to solve that.

To answer yer question . . . YES.
I, like 60ragtop, removed the "fuel tap" from my '57 and replaced it with the pick-up and filter screen from a later tank.
