cool cool.
Ok i have followed this from the beginning and even looked back some and at your website which by the way is great looking.
Just to confirm a couple things. I swapped to a plastic blazer tank with an external pump a few years ago and well dont like it much. this is for a EFI (ls1 setup). I cut the smaller spare tire cross member out and this fits pretty good but is ugly. I assume this will just fit right in its place. I want to confirm but I currently have a side filler since it is on the tank I have. Your photos show this to be a a 90 degree out of the tank can this be rotated up slightly? My tank has a smaller filler neck and is slow to fill.
I am concerned my external pump might go out as it did on my way back from Mobile on the Power Tour. I dont like the external pump as well as the internal one.
Can you elaborate on the baffles some more?
I know most of this may be in this post but it is 15 pages I looked thru part of it again and didnt see all this.
Again thanks
Dave

Oh yea I want to put my name in for one of the slots.
