LS and LT Fuel Tank Kit for 1971-1972 Buick Skylark A-Body
When adapting an LS or LT powerplant to a 1971 or 1972 Skylark A Body, fuel delivery and clearance issues often demand a precise solution so this EFI fuel tank kit with a 400 LPH Walbro pump and notched profile ensures reliable LS and LT compatibility. Designed to tuck around exhaust piping and rear tires without trimming factory sheet metal, it preserves full suspension travel. Housing the pump and level sensor inside the tank reduces underbody clutter while cutting down on external hoses and fittings for a cleaner layout. Installers will benefit from clear instructions and a bolt in approach that streamlines assembly even on a classic Skylark A Body chassis.
Custom Notched Profile Supports Suspension Travel
The tank's sculpted shape removes material around the rear axle and exhaust path to preserve original sheet metal lines. By avoiding contact with tires or pipes this design maintains full suspension movement and prevents costly trimming. The contour follows factory boundaries to ensure the installation appears as a natural extension of the Skylark's underbody. This approach solves the common clearance struggle faced in LS and LT conversions and retains the car's classic stance.
In Tank Pump Module Reduces Underbody Complexity
Encasing the fuel pump and sensor inside the tank eliminates multiple hoses and fittings along the frame rails. With fewer external connections there are reduced leak points and a simpler routing path. This arrangement leaves chassis rails free from clutter and lowers the risk of damage from road debris. Technicians benefit from a cleaner workspace and can complete the install with fewer potential problem areas.
400 LPH Walbro Pump Delivers Consistent Supply at High Output
The included Walbro unit is rated for 400 LPH and excels in engines pushing beyond 550 horsepower or running forced induction. Submerged operation keeps the rotor assembly cool and resist cavitation during heavy acceleration or rapid directional changes. This ensures fuel pressure remains stable across all driving conditions and prevents lean conditions under load. Builders can rely on this pump to sustain steady flow during spirited driving or track sessions.
Comprehensive Kit Contents Simplify Bolt In Installation
This allinclusive kit provides the pump module, sending unit, tank straps, filler neck, vent filter, gaskets and hardware for a true bolt in replacement. Supplying every necessary component reduces parts sourcing and lets installers begin work immediately. Detailed instructions cover mounting, wiring and plumbing steps to minimize fabrication. The result is a streamlined installation that restores reliable fuel delivery in a classic A Body chassis.
