Does anyone make a 16 gallon saddle tank with baffles that works with a Holley 12-308 pump?

Here's the dilemma I'm in. I've got Holley 12-308 fuel pumps which are meant for factory tanks on my 1973 Chevy K10 (not EFI tanks). I'm using those pumps with a Holley Sniper setup.

I'm looking for factory 16 gallon saddle fuel tanks with baffles but the only ones I've managed to find are these ones:

1973-81 Chevy and GMC Pickup Truck Fuel Injection Gas Tank - 6' Short Box

Tanks, Inc. manufactures fuel system components and polyethylene, steel and stainless steel gas tanks for street rods and special interest vehicles.

I inquired and they told me those tanks will not work with the Holley 12-308 fuel pumps. I'm guessing that is because those tanks are EFI specific tanks whereas the Holley 12-308 pumps are meant for the factory tanks which are of course originally meant for a carbureted setup.

Anyhow, just thought I'd inquire to see if anyone knows of something I might be missing. Obviously I could have something custom made but I'm not looking to spend that sort of money.

1987 tanks are baffled and will have the same sender retention style as your 73 equipment.

I believe the filler neck sizes changed from 73 to 87, so it might need a little adaption to get thing to jive in that regard, otherwise should be a bolt in solution.

Okay, I had wondered about 87 tanks but I wasn't sure what the really difference was. If the only difference is filler neck size, that's no big deal.

Confirming if you want OE style baffled tanks then have to order for 87 model.

There will be some figuring or creativity required with the fillers. It’s like trading one challenge for another depending on the overall plan for the system.
