Re: Blazer tank swap

Ive got one from an '89 in my '63. It does have the baffle. Im using it with a '97 vortec. Although different, the pump for the later EFI engines are a direct swap for the TBI pump.

Re: Blazer tank swap

The tank I am looking at is a spectra, but it looks like it only has a small pan where the fuel pump sits. Do you have any fuel starvation issues?

Re: Blazer tank swap

TBH, mine is about 3 weeks away from running. Mine had a pan / baffle inside that was say 7-8" square x 3-4" high and kinda looked like a maze if you will. It allowed for the fuel to stay around the pump. Im assuming for cooling and anti cavitation reasons.

You could do a write up on the swap if you want.
