1970 Buick Skylark A-Body EFI Fuel Tank Kit for LS Engine Swaps
For an LS drop into a 1970 Skylark A body the 1970 Skylark EFI Fuel Tank Kit solves the twin challenges of restricted clearance and consistent fuel delivery. Its laser cut notches align with factory mounting points to eliminate trimming and preserve rear suspension travel. Including a 255 LPH Walbro pump the unit maintains required pressure for engines up to 550 hp under sudden throttle openings. Precision formed flanges and pre installed hardware streamline installation and the corrosion resistant finish ensures years of service in varied driving conditions.
Advanced 255 LPH Pump Module for Steady Fuel Delivery
The core of this fuel tank kit is a 255 LPH Walbro pump housed in an internal module that delivers a consistent flow even under sudden throttle changes. Designed for engines up to 550 hp, the pump's precision impeller maintains pressure from idle through full load, avoiding fuel starvation during hard launches or spirited driving. Operating fully submerged in fuel, the unit stays cool under continuous demand and generates minimal noise, all while resisting vapor lock in hot underbody conditions. Internal baffling within the tank further dampens fuel surge during cornering or acceleration, ensuring uninterrupted delivery to the EFI system. A plug and play electrical connector integrates directly with the Skylark's factory wiring harness, simplifying setup and ensuring reliable operation.
CNC Laser Cut Notches Preserving Suspension Travel
Lowered suspension on a 1970 Buick Skylark often brings the fuel tank dangerously close to the exhaust system and rear tires. This kit employs CNC laser cut notches in the tank shell that align exactly with factory mounting points, providing essential clearance without any trimming or modification. By maintaining full rear suspension travel, the design protects fuel lines from abrasion and prevents heat soak that could compromise fuel quality. The notches are positioned to preserve the original body profile, ensuring that venting remains effective and safe. Installers save time by avoiding the trial and error that typically accompanies custom notch work on vintage chassis.
Heavy Gauge Steel Shell with Corrosion Protection
Constructed from heavy gauge steel, the tank shell delivers outstanding resistance to dents, punctures, and impact from road debris. A corrosion resistant finish coats both interior and exterior surfaces, shielding against moisture, road salt, and ethanol blends prevalent in modern fuels. This protective layer extends service life by preventing rust formation and preserving structural integrity over many seasons of use. Uniform shell thickness also resists oil canning under load, ensuring the tank maintains its shape even when fully filled. Owners gain confidence knowing the shell was engineered to withstand the rigors of daily driving and occasional track duty.
Complete Factory Style Kit for Streamlined Installation
This all inclusive kit arrives with every component needed for a fast, professional fuel system swap: tank straps, precision bent filler neck, vent filter, sending unit, gaskets and all mounting hardware. Pre punched mounting holes and factory matching brackets eliminate custom fab work, allowing installers to focus on alignment and proper sealing. The integrated pump module arrives preassembled on its mounting collar, while the supplied wiring pigtail ensures a neat electrical connection without splicing. By reducing labor steps, the kit cuts installation time dramatically and reduces the chance of errors that can cause leaks or misalignment. The result is a fuel tank installation that looks, fits and performs like factory equipment.
