Are you autocrossing it? If so it doesn't surprise me at all.

Welcome to the club! Although when I put a walbro 255 in the new ACC gas tank, it didn't do it nearly as bad as before.

It's a known problem. When autocrossing or open traking I always start the day with a full tank and I try to keep the from droping to less that a half tank.

yep, my 88 is the same way. if im less that 1/4 tank and i make a hard right (like getting on the interstate) it will stall. usually it will just sputter and come back but one time it actually died completely

not a big deal, just a pain in the a$$

go and get the 1le tankand sending unit . It rotates 360 degrees. It eliminated the hard cornering problem.

Post a part number for that 'swinging' pickup.

Any 90-up tank has the baffles.
