70 Nova fuel tank options
70 Nova fuel tank options What are you guys using for EFI fuel tanks?
In tank pump options or is everyone sumping the factory tank and using an external pump?
Looking for options for my hybrid pro touring Nova that I am building for my wife.
Thanks

Tanks Inc is in production for the EFI tanks for the 69-72 Novas. We still have to wait about 3 months until they are ready.
I find it very odd why these Novas are always left behind with things like these. Either way, I have been going back and forth via email with Justin at Tanks Inc. This is what he recommended if you need to switch to EFI and cannot wait for their new tanks to arrive.
TM46C - Tank
FG104C - Fuel Sender
ST91 - Tank Straps
PA-4 - Fuel Pump
PA-REC - Pump weld in recess
VV - In Tank Rollover Vent Valve - Brass
I think the sender unit has to be modified, where you cap the feeder tube. Unfortunately the 69 Camaro tank fits but the filler neck is way off. So if you are up to modifying the trunk floor you can get one of those tanks.
The other option is to place the pump outside and inline with the regulator. Which I am almost leaning towards this, as the non efi tank from Tanks Inc is close to $550 with shipping.

I have been waiting for a few years for Tanks and other to produce the 3rd gen Nova tanks. Everyone I called, said.. in development and will get to it soon.. but tick, tick tic.. nothing yet..
I ended up using the Tanks In tank pump kit.. and also did some extra work on a baffle. You can see my build thread.
There are options. most of them are a bit Costly..

I couldn't wait and didn't feel like messing with my possible wrong design issues in building my own in tank setup and went with a Ricks and although it's not running yet I like it so far.
Both are build photos they sent me. I don't have one of it all cleaned up and looking good.

I have an idea of using the Tank for Rockauto for the 69 Camaro and having my body guy put a billet gas door in the tail light panel and going inside the trunk with the neck.
So if you can wait till March, Tanks Inc. will have the Nova tanks in stock!

I wonder what the differences are among the '68-'69, '70 and '71-'71 versions. I thought they were identical except for the emissions connections, which really don't apply when switching to fuel injection. At any rate, the pump sump looks very similar to what bczee did on his.
Uhm no, you will have to modify the filler neck.

My Spectra setup is worked great. I'm kind of leaving the original pump setup in the dust since I've decided to go turbo with my build. But the good news is, with the right adapters, the Spectra tank will be able to accommodate dual walbros. If you want an idea of what path I'm taking for this, check out the senders from Racetronix that they make for Grand Nationals. The senders are almost identical to the spectra design. Racetronix makes an adapter to couple 2 walbros together and feed into a single 3/8" hard line with o-ring seals like EFI fittings. I'm yet to get all this rigged up with pictures, but it'll be together real soon.
I'm just giving some fuel to the fire for the readers in case they want to know their options for upgrading in the future.
