1965 Pontiac Lemans EFI Fuel Tank Kit for LS Engine Swaps
When preparing a 1965 Pontiac Lemans A Body for an LS engine transplant, consistent fuel delivery under hard acceleration is a primary concern, one that the 1965 Pontiac Lemans EFI Fuel Tank Kit with its 255 LPH Walbro pump addresses head on. It slips into the factory mounting points to preserve original strap locations and filler neck orientation while offering steady pressure for engines up to 550 horsepower. Technicians will appreciate minimal fabrication and a stock underbody profile that keeps resto projects on schedule. Fuel level readings remain precise thanks to the calibrated sending unit designed for EFI applications.
OEM Style Fitment for A Body Chassis
This kit is engineered to align precisely with the original mounting points on the 1965 Pontiac Lemans A Body chassis, preserving the factory strap locations and filler neck orientation. By using these stock attachment points, it maintains the underbody clearance and angles that define the vehicle's classic silhouette. Technicians can install the tank without cutting frame rails or fabricating new brackets, which speeds up the process and reduces labor costs. The direct fit approach also ensures that chassis integrity is never compromised, supporting a secure and rattle free installation. As a result, restorations can advance more efficiently while keeping the car true to its 1960s design ethos.
Advanced In Tank Pump for Steady Pressure Under Load
At the heart of this assembly is the Walbro 255 LPH pump, selected for its ability to support LS engines producing up to 550 horsepower. Positioned inside the tank, it benefits from continuous fuel immersion, which cools internal components and helps prevent heat related failures during spirited driving. The steady flow rate under rapid throttle changes minimizes the risk of lean conditions that can damage high output engines. In practical terms, drivers will appreciate a more immediate throttle response and confidence that fuel supply will remain uninterrupted. This design choice extends pump life and contributes to smoother, more predictable power delivery.
Precision Sending Unit Ensuring Accurate Fuel Readings
The precision fuel sending unit included in this kit features a calibrated float and sensor assembly optimized for electronic fuel injection systems. Its design delivers accurate level readings to the factory gauge cluster, avoiding the inconsistent measurements that can plague older systems. Clear and repeatable feedback helps drivers plan refueling and reduces the chance of unexpected stops on long trips. For those tuning the engine management, the consistent data stream from this unit supports precise fuel usage analysis. Integrating seamlessly with the original wiring harness, it maintains the period correct appearance of the interior.
Comprehensive Kit Design Streamlining Installation
This all inclusive kit brings together every component needed for a successful EFI fuel system conversion on a 1965 Lemans A Body. Alongside the pump and sending unit, it supplies tank straps, a replacement filler neck, vent filter, molded gaskets and mounting hardware, all manufactured in the USA. Each part is inspected to strict quality standards, ensuring compatible fit and reliable performance from day one. Installers benefit from a single source for parts that have been engineered to work together, eliminating the guesswork of sourcing mismatched pieces. The result is a streamlined process that preserves factory style and reduces total project time.
