DionR don't compare Factory installed EFI to aftermarket EFI. The cars coming with it installed from the factory have it down pat. I have an 05 Ram, don't use the truck for 2 weeks, turn the key and take right off, regardless of the weather. Has never failed me in my 20 years and over 100,000...

With all the EFI people trying to shove this down our intake, you would think that they would iron out the problems the average guy is having. Why don't they start a forum where people can post their problems and have a Tech respond. Now if you need Tech support spend hours on the phone...

It's the early on that has frustrated most users. When you don't know what the problem is, how can you fix it. I had an ECU go bad in an EFI unit. How do you trouble shoot something like that. Had to send unit back to Mfr. to have it fixed. It only quit working when hot, ran ok when cold...

The only bad side of carbs now is the cost of them. They used to be roughly $200 and now around $500 for the better ones. Just remember a tow home maybe $100 plus.

If you don't want to get towed home stick with the carb. The only good EFI is the one from the AUTO Mfr. that is installed on your car. 05 Ram 20 years old never failed me. 2 strikes against aftermarket EFI and 2 different types and Mfr's..

It has vertical trans cooler fittings.

Most guys don't have access to part #'s, is it for 22" or 26" radiator? Size would help.

The lug nuts look fine.

And don't forget about the fuel pump not being able to deliver enough fuel required to supply when going up a hill. Is the fuel pump electric or mechanical? A lot of things to trouble shoot.

Waiting for the insurance adjuster to give an estimate on repair cost.

The motor was probably a display motor and now looking to sell it. Maybe call Summit in Texas, didn't know they had a store there.

To block the exhaust ports I used allen screws, just make sure they are short enough so they don't protrude. I did it about 30 years ago so don't remember what thread size, but it did work out well for me.

I had a 71 Duster 340 I bought new, and although it had an ashtray cigarette lighter, it just had a hole in the console for a lighter but didn't come with one.

Here on the east coast, if the salt doesn't get you, the sand does. Tires shedding the sand at high speed becomes a sand blaster in the wheel wells.
