Robust Construction and Materials
At the heart of the kit is a powder coated steel fuel tank. This choice of material offers superior resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage compared to untreated alternatives. The powder coating process creates a uniform, durable finish that stands up to exposure from road debris and chemicals. Combined with precision welds and CNC-formed components, the tank is built to maintain its shape and integrity under the dynamic stresses of spirited driving.
Fuel Pump Performance and Capacity
Equipped with a Walbro 255 LPH pump, this kit provides ample flow for engines producing up to 550 horsepower. The in-tank design improves fuel cooling and reduces the risk of vapor lock by keeping the pump submerged. It also minimizes noise and vibration inside the passenger compartment. The pump's flow rate delivers a stable supply during rapid throttle changes and extended track sessions. By matching pump capacity to engine output, the kit helps maintain optimal air-fuel ratios under all operating conditions.
Installation and Muscle Rods Compatibility
Muscle Rods supplies this EFI kit with clear instructions and all necessary hardware for a straightforward installation. The tank includes pre-located mounting points that align with the original body straps on a 1973-1974 X-Body chassis for Chevy Nova, Pontiac Ventura, Buick Apollo, and Oldsmobile Omega, ensuring precise positioning and secure attachment. Fuel line fittings and electrical connectors are factory-installed, reducing assembly time and potential installation errors. The comprehensive instructions guide installers through each step, from tank removal to pump wiring, making it accessible for experienced technicians and skilled do-it-yourself enthusiasts alike.
