I'm talking a 86 early 90's TPI motor, not a lt 1 or later which yes you could do the same thing just have to have a high out put pump for those.
Yes build a little tank that would hold the fuel pump with all the neccessary fuel lines running to it and if it is gravity feed then all you do is fill up the orignal tank and as long as the gas gauge is showing fuel your good to go and want need the baffels either.
This car was the first one I saw with fuel injection in SC. It had this little gem in it.
Carolina Rod shop One Lap America car or Panel which ever!
Glen Dodd was the owner back then.
