baffled tank or not?
fellas... i've looked at the faqs, did a search, and did not see anything on this. do tta's have baffled gas tanks or not?
 i know it was a selling point in the brochure, but i've never been able to confirm it. i've had the tank out of my 9c1 caprice and even it had a baffle around the fuel pump. so did tta's have more baffles throughout the tank or just around the pump? i'd like first hand info from folks who have dropped thier tanks to put in fuel pumps, etc. thanks!

baffles were the same as any other standfard baffle tank. According to GM the key factor was the swinging pickup.......

Hard to be certain as with anything GM did in the 80's when they ran out of a specific part sometimes a standard part went in it's place. All 1LE optioned cars came with the swinging pickups(1LE & B4C Camaros and the TTA).
HTH!

I believe the swinging pick up is when you don't use the pump support on the bottom of the pick up .. Use a longer hanging hose and it swings in the breeze

IIRC the literature associated said it came with the swinging pickup. Baffling as Razor said is standard. Coulda been one of those last minute changes on the line.
The B4C Camaros in 91 were optioned for police use, but supposedly they didn't get the larger brakes until the following year. Wasn't there a thread here about the TTA spare being aluminum but it turns out they weren't.
