Dim efi

My 1966 Barracuda has ran well for the past 34 years. Recently I have found it hard to tolerate the gas smell after driving when parked in the garage. It is too early of a car to have evaporative controls. It also requires a few seconds of cranking to fill the carb after sitting for a couple days. It seems that others share this problem. Gasoline has been revised over the years. I am considering converting to a "do it myself" ignition and fuel injection.

I have done this work for other old vehicles with success. I have the electronic advance ignition already completed and starting with the the EFI. Since the car is very original, I wish to do the conversion in a way that it can easily be converted back to stock. I plan to use TBI, while not the best, it will be a significant improvement, solving the evaporative control and starting delay.

I have purchased a surplus 2-barrel TBI, I think it is found on 1989 Dodge trucks. I am disappointed that the TBI will not be a direct bolt-up, so I will have to make an adapter.

I should be able to put this together in a few weeks depending on my other chores that steal my time. I have electronic hardware to do about 90% of the tasks. I will need to add a circuit to interface the idle speed motor. Also it needs a few days of software revisions.
