LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit for 1970 Buick Skylark A-Body
When dropping an LS powerplant into a 1970 Buick Skylark A body chassis the 1970 Skylark EFI Fuel Tank Kit addresses both steady fuel delivery and tight clearance around lowered suspension geometry. Engineered with carefully cut notches and a robust steel shell this kit aligns with factory mounting points to slash installation time and eliminate custom modifications. A 255 LPH Walbro pump inside the unit maintains flow under hard acceleration for engines up to 550 horsepower while corrosion-resistant finish ensures reliability in challenging road and weather conditions.
Integrated 255 LPH Walbro Pump for Steady Fuel Supply
The heart of this kit is the 255 LPH Walbro pump housed within the in-tank module, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of an LS powerplant up to 550 hp. Its precision impeller design delivers a stable pressure signature from idle through full throttle, preventing fuel starvation during sudden throttle openings or hard launches. Operating fully submerged in fuel, the pump remains cool under sustained load and minimizes operational noise while resisting vapor lock in high under-hood temperatures. Internal baffling further limits fuel slosh when cornering or accelerating aggressively, ensuring uninterrupted flow. Compatibility with standard ethanol blends guarantees reliable performance across diverse regional fuels, and the plug-and-play electrical connector mates directly with factory wiring for a clean, professional installation.
Precision Notched Tank Design for A-Body Clearance
Lowering a 1970 Skylark A-body often brings the stock tank into close proximity with exhaust piping and oversized tires. This fuel tank features CNC-laser-cut notches in the shell that provide critical clearance without any aftermarket trimming or hammering. By preserving full rear suspension travel, the design maintains ride quality and keeps fuel lines free from abrasion, even on uneven roads. The removal of interference zones around the exhaust prevents heat soak on the shell and reduces the risk of premature wear. Every cut is aligned with the factory chassis mounting points, retaining the original body profile and making sure venting remains both safe and unobstructed.
Heavy Gauge Steel Shell with Corrosion Protection
Built from heavy gauge steel, the tank shell offers exceptional resistance to dents and punctures from road debris. A durable corrosion-resistant finish shelters both interior and exterior surfaces from moisture, salt, ethanol-rich fuels and other corrosive elements, extending service intervals and preserving fuel quality over time. The robust construction withstands the rigors of daily driving and track use, preventing leaks and reducing the likelihood of structural fatigue. Technicians appreciate the uniform thickness that resists oil canning under load, and owners gain long-term peace of mind knowing the tank will remain sealed and structurally sound through all seasons and climates.
Complete Factory-Style Kit for Faster Installation
Every component needed for a seamless swap arrives in one package: tank straps, a precision-bent filler neck, vent filter, sending unit, gaskets and all mounting hardware. Pre-punched mounting holes and factory-matching brackets eliminate the need for custom fabrication, streamlining the alignment process. The integrated pump module comes pre-assembled with its mounting collar and connector, while the included wiring pigtail simplifies electrical integration. This all-in-one approach cuts labor time dramatically, allowing installers to focus on tuning and finishing rather than chasing parts or making last-minute adjustments. The result is a professional-grade fit that mirrors original equipment standards.
