    Request to create an EFI forum

    If someone were to search just thread titles containing "EFI" they'd get 17 pages of results. When I go on the Holley EFI forums and ask about how this or that is supposed to work with Chrysler products it's like you're speaking Greek. A Mopar-specific EFI knowledge base would be an invaluable...

    Request to create an EFI forum

    So what are we thinking here admins? The 3D forum has been up since July and so far there's only 28 original threads and 374 total messages. I'd bet an EFI forum would easily eclipse that. One thread I've been involved with the last two days is now 4 pages and has 1K views by itself. It'll be...

    EFI to replace Edelbrock carb

    It looks like the Cheater device changes the A/F ratio on the fly with a controlled vacuum leak so to speak. I guess it's interesting but it seems pretty limited. Also, half of the benefit of EFI is allowing the ECU to control ignition timing. Getting ignition curve correct always comes before...

    EFI to replace Edelbrock carb

    Looks similar to the Innovate Motorsports stuff that was around several years ago. I had an LM-1. Came with an 02 sensor and an A/F ratio gauge and you could data log with it if you had the right cable connections. I mostly just used the gauge while I was driving. It definitely taught me a lot...

    EFI to replace Edelbrock carb

    You're using logic to argue against an emotional response, you'll never win. One of the oldest and most respected carburetor companies on the planet just happens to make incredibly sophisticated and easy-to-use EFI systems. Why? Because if they stuck to making carburetors only they'd probably...

    EFI to replace Edelbrock carb

    BTW, what happened to the O.P.? Did his head explode? Would like to hear what he has to say after 3 pages of opinions .

    Request to create an EFI forum

    Recently there seems to be a lot of questions regarding retrofit EFI conversions. I would like to suggest a dedicated forum for it. Carburetors have been around for over 100 years but EFI is still a relatively new technology and the learning curve can be steep. Mopars in particular have some...

    I made a small block low mount alternator bracket

    Pretty cool! I looked at a bunch of Brand-X brackets and thought I could make one work easily enough. I just ended up doing it myself because I don’t like to wait. Just proves that the thing that usually stops anyone from doing anything is themselves.

    EFI to replace Edelbrock carb

    Since there seems to be a lot of these these questions popping up in recent years I am considering writing up a detailed primer on EFI conversions. It wouldn't be technical as much as it would be about helping someone decide if it's the right move or not. A lot of people don't see the entire...

    EFI to replace Edelbrock carb

    Some of the blame on the negativity of these systems can placed on the advertising. Guys really seem to believe that it will be a magic bullet. I've seen it with my neighbor, he just bought the plug-and-play idea hook, line and sinker. Couldn't be further from the truth. The companies that...

    EFI to replace Edelbrock carb

    If you or anyone else is still befuddled/angered by computers and software in 2025 it must be difficult to navigate life in general let alone retrofit EFI systems. "Detesting" anything is purely emotional. You have a right to feel however you want about it but it's not relevant to whether it...

    EFI to replace Edelbrock carb

    I doubt the O.P. cares about pulse width modulated fuel pumps. My EFI Holley in-tank pump uses a preset filter/regulator installed just forward of the tank. it has a return port so no need to run a return the length of the car. The Sniper throttle bodies are internally regulated but do require...

    EFI to replace Edelbrock carb

    It's no different than this forum. There's thousands of pages of repetitive questions about basic stuff. Like I said, it's not for everyone. If it's intimidating/confusing or whatever then just stay with what you know. No need to add complexity.
