EFI Conversion

I added the Fitech kit without timing control. I have had it installed and going for a little over a year. I used an MSD box and bypassed the ballast resistor. I am also using a Mopar distributor. I was having trouble with the unit running properly. It turned out to be a worn reluctor on my distributor and the tach wire from the FiTech unit receiving signal interference from the spark plug wires. The Blue tach wire needs to be isolated. Fitech said I should use an MSD distributor too. Tired that and it would not turn run , ran like crap, changed to a new mopar distributor and the problem was solved. I have had 2 issues with the Fitech system so far after I got everything running smoothly. I am on my third fuel pump. I used the frame mounted kit they provide. The first one would not seal properly due to a uneven surface where one of the fittings go in, the second pump went out on me this week end. If I were to do it over again, I would change to an in tank pump ( see tanks inc). When this fuel pump dies, I likely will do the switch. The second issue is the system drains my battery if the car is not in use. So I keep a battery tender on it until I figure out what to do, I plan to call Fitech back on this and ask them what could be causing this. As far as reliability, its great, gas mileage on my 65 dart with a 318, 302 heads 340 exhaust manifolds and a 4 speed with overdrive is 19.5 with 2.94 gears. I will be going to 3.23 when I get the 8 3/4 installed. I noticed on steep climbs this system gave me more power over the 4 barrel eddy carb and did not require a downshift, where the car I had to downshift. I don't know how long these self learning systems have been around, but it does seem we are the guinea pigs on working out the problems.
