I droped the gas tank from my early 74 yesterday and noticed a baffle inside the tank, does the 240 tank have a baffle in it? Can you see the other side of the tank in the 240 when viewing from the filler hole? :?:

The 240 and 260's do have baffling in the tanks, just not as much as a 280z tank does. I remember looking inside the tank I pulled out of my 240 and seem to remember not being able to look through to the other side due to baffling though. There isn't as much baffling in the early carbed Zcars fuel tanks, because it's not as necessary as it is in the FI Zcars. I could be wrong, but if the level of fuel is really low and you're cornering hard in a SU carbed Z, the motor will run off the fuel in the float bowls till you come out of the corner and the fuel levels out again. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about the motor running off the float bowls.
