1971-1972 Buick Skylark A-Body EFI Fuel Tank Kit for LS and LT Swaps
If you are fitting an LS or LT powerplant into your 1971 to 1972 Buick Skylark A-Body chassis this notched EFI fuel tank kit resolves tight frame rail and exhaust routing conflicts while delivering a consistent fuel supply. Integration of a 400 LPH Walbro pump inside the tank shell removes external hoses and brackets and preserves factory sheet metal. Technicians will appreciate how the sculpted tank contour clears rear tire and header paths without trimming original components and retains full suspension travel. This setup also provides accurate fuel level readings and supports forced induction or 550 hp engine demands under varied driving conditions.
Custom Notched Tank Contour for Exhaust and Tire Clearance
The notched profile in the tank shell creates precise clearance around the rear axle and routed exhaust lines without modifying factory sheet metal. This contour follows the natural underbody geometry of the 1971 1972 Skylark A Body chassis and preserves full suspension travel under load. By avoiding any contact with tire sidewalls or hot headers, it prevents chafing and heat soak in critical areas. Installers benefit from a worry free fit that retains the original rail integrity and classic appearance.
400 LPH Walbro Pump Ensures Stable High Volume Delivery
The in tank installation of a 400 LPH Walbro pump meets the rigorous demands of supercharged or 550 hp LS and LT powerplants. Immersed directly in fuel, the rotor assembly runs cooler and resists cavitation during sudden acceleration or heavy cornering. This submerged operation maintains consistent pressure across a wide range of throttle positions and driving conditions. Builders can rely on smooth delivery for spirited street use or track sessions without lean surges.
Integrated In Tank Module Streamlines Underbody Layout
Housing the pump and sending unit inside the fuel tank eliminates multiple external hoses, fittings and mounting brackets along the frame rails. Fewer connections mean fewer leak points and a cleaner undercarriage that is easier to inspect and service. The simplified layout also reduces exposure to road debris and heat, enhancing component life. Technicians will appreciate the organized plumbing and electrical routing when completing the swap.
All Inclusive Kit Components for Simplified Installation
This comprehensive kit provides every component needed for a complete swap including a sending unit, tank straps, filler neck, vent filter, gaskets and hardware. Detailed instructions guide installers through mounting the tank, wiring the pump module and connecting fuel lines with minimal fabrication. The accurate level sensor ensures dependable fuel readings to prevent unexpected empties. With all parts at hand, shops and hobbyists can finish the project with reduced downtime and without sourcing extra pieces.
