I have been having several fuel related issues with my car.
1. fuel gauge swings wildly when less than 1/2 tank
2.My fuel pressure drops dramatically when coming out of a corner if I have less than 1/2 tank of fuel
3 Had vapor lock issues at spring mountain and Inde, both are higher elevation tracks.
I ended up baffling a stock tank and adding a Tanks PA4 fuel pump module.
We ran last Saturday, a warm day, at 4100' and the fuel pressure was rock solid all day. I ran 3.5 sessions without any additional fuel with no issues. The half session was our first, new tires and new brake pads needed to be broke in. I used to have to add fuel after 2 sessions.

My plan was to recess the pump into the tank so the pump fittings would not hit the trunk floor. I ran into issues. The stock tank on a 71 Camaro is 6" deep. The electric pump is like 5 1/4" long. It will work, but I need to recess the pump module into the tank 1" to keep the fitting from hitting the floor. The best I could do is recess the pump 5/8".
So I used a brownie pan to start with. It felt like it was a good thick pan about equal to the thickness of the stock tank.
I decided to set the pump in the center of the tank toward the front which is the deepest part of the tank
I tool some pictures inside the tank of the eec system in the stock tank. The small nipples on the tank look like this.
The large nipple goes all the way to the filler neck
I added baffling to the inside of the tank. The baffles are 13" wide, and go all the way front to rear inside the tank, and top to bottom. It is a big rectangle that I welded inside the tank
yep I cut myself
