EFI Fuel Tank Kit for 1970 Buick Skylark LS Swap
When fitting an LS drivetrain into a 1970 Buick Skylark A Body installers often run out of space beneath the rear end and struggle to maintain stable fuel pressure. This EFI fuel tank kit relies on precision laser cut notches that match factory mounting points and an integrated 255 LPH Walbro pump to deliver steady flow even during rapid throttle transitions. Pre punched mounting holes and a corrosion resistant steel shell preserve rear suspension travel and resist wear over time. With internal baffling to guard against fuel surge in corners and a plug and play connector for the original harness this kit cuts out hours of fabrication and wiring work.
Efficient 255 LPH Pump Maintains Consistent Fuel Pressure
The integrated Walbro unit delivers a steady 255 LPH flow capable of supporting engine outputs up to 550 horsepower. Fully submerged within the steel tank body, the pump remains cool under prolonged operation and resists vapor lock even in hot conditions beneath the chassis. Its precision impeller design responds rapidly to sudden throttle inputs, preventing lean conditions during hard acceleration. By drawing fuel from a baffled reservoir area, the assembly ensures the pump inlet remains flooded at all times. This level of performance stability underpins reliable engine operation in spirited driving or competitive settings.
Precision Notched Shell Aligns with Factory Mounting Points
Laser cut contours match the original A Body chassis mounting points without requiring frame modification. Rather than trimming mounts or adapting straps, the notches preserve full rear suspension movement and protect fuel lines from abrasion. Careful clearance from the exhaust system and inner tire walls reduces heat transfer and prevents contact at lowered ride heights. Reinforced seams around each opening maintain structural integrity even when subjected to road shocks. This engineered fit dramatically reduces mock up time and eliminates common fitment frustrations.
Internal Baffling and Corrosion Resistant Shell Enhance Durability
The tank features multiple internal baffles that limit fuel slosh and prevent air pockets from starving the pump during cornering or braking maneuvers. This fuel management approach delivers consistent delivery under dynamic loads and safeguards against pressure spikes. Encasing the assembly in a corrosion resistant steel body ensures resistance to road deicing salts and fuel additives over time. Precision welded seams and high quality paint finish further protect against wear and fatigue. Together these elements offer a robust foundation for long term reliability in demanding driving environments.
Complete Hardware Set Streamlines Installation Process
This kit includes all necessary components for a professional grade swap, such as the in tank pump module, sending unit, precision bent filler neck and vent filter. Tank straps, gaskets and mounting hardware all align with factory frame rails using prepunched holes and matching flanges. The preinstalled wiring harness mates directly with the stock electrical connector, which removes the need for splicing or adapter kits. By delivering a fully assembled solution, installers can bypass hours of fabrication and focus on final routing. The result is a controlled installation sequence with reduced risk of leaks or misalignment.
