Re: fuel system

I don't know 100% on this but don't you want to get the tank as well since it's baffled? or are the carb car tanks baffled as well?

There is some baffling in the carb tank, but I understand the EFI tank is different.

I did put a TPI pickup in my carb tank, but if you are removing a pickup from the junkyard, you might as well get the tank and all if it is in decent shape.
