The tanks from older cars are only baffled slightly... Not good enough for an EFI setup The idea is to stop fuel sloshing noises from getting in the cabin rather than a constant fuel supply... With the carby(ies) having float chamber(s) then there is a small reserve of fuel in the engine bay so extensive baffling, or an in-tank well etc were not needed in the old days.
