    but what does it do? Does it let all the gas be in the back/bottom of tank?

    yeah, the gas is right where that outlet is, so when you are on the gas, the fuel is right there. Some cheaper setups will have issues when you hit the brakes though.

    Depends on what you buy. Glennsperformance sells really nice units with baffles.

    You can sump your own tank. I sumped mine on my 03' Cobra and placed buffles in mine. Seems to be working nice so far :2thumbs:

    screw sumped tanks.

    i had a 1979 car... that i was converting to carb.

    SO--- I drilled through the bottom of a 5.0 EFI tank INTO the stock EFI baffel and installed a $10 AN10 fuel cell fitting. I also installed a AN-6 fuel cell fitting in the top of the tank as a return shooting back into the baffel. No problems - easy install! :2thumbs:
