    EFI guys, any options for theft protection?

    Hmm, I know there are actually 4 tables in the computer, but I believe the switch function is limited to just 2. The other 2 are meant as blend tables for something like E85. So you really only have 2 main tables, but each table has a matching blend table that it would interpolate between...

    EFI guys, any options for theft protection?

    Like Subcon said, the Megasquirt can do table switching via an external switch. Think of it like red key / black key on a modern Hellcat or valet mode. You could have one table be zero fuel so any would-be thief wouldn't flood your engine while trying to start it at least. A valet mode with...

    FUEL TANK?

    I might have one, but I'd have to look to see what it's stamped like. Took it out of my 67 Dart, but I'm fairly certain it's not a 67 tank. Seems to be in really nice shape, just wanted something with an in-tank pump for my fuel injection setup and didn't want to cut up what was in there.

    POLL: Which is your favorite carb(s) of choice?

    The Carter that came on the 318 when I bought was my car was the best running carb I've ever seen. Would start right up in the cold and you could pull away almost right away without having to wait for it to warm up or anything. I thought it was pretty easy to tune as well. Can swap springs...

    Fuel filler pipes

    Depends on how you have it configured. They'll customize it to your order quite a bit like fuel fitting sizes, with or without spare tire cutout, extra depth, etc. I think the standard tank is around 16 gallons with the spare tire (what I got). I've never run the tank dry, so I can't confirm the...

    Fuel filler pipes

    I went with the Hot Rod City tank as well when I went back to EFI on my 5.7 swap to get the in-tank pump. Nice guy to work with and good looking piece. The main issue I've had with it though is that I can't fill it very fast. The old tank and fill neck had an inner baffle that separated the...

    What is considered a good air fuel ratio at cursing speeds?

    It really depends on the engine, but typically at idle a carb might run smoothest a little on the rich side, say 13.5-14. I imagine your engine being a 408 stroker probably means it's no slouch either, so really whatever ratio makes it idle best is what to use. I have my 5.7 running around the...

    Fast EZ EFI

    Yeah, the EZ EFI isn't really programmable which is why you would effectively need a complete separate fuel management system for the nitrous working in tandem so the EZ doesn't think the engine is doing anything different, which I highly doubt would be very easy to make and manage. The EZ...

    Fast EZ EFI

    I'm not sure any of the systems that are exclusively self tuning can handle nitrous or forced induction yet, but most that are manually programmable can. MSD makes a self tuning dang near all in one system that looks like a carb now (the Atomix or something I believe), that you pretty much just...

    Fast EZ EFI

    Another place that makes tanks is Hot Rod City Garage there in California. I got an all aluminum tank from them for my EFI build. It's a really nice looking piece will pump and all. I think it was $800 for the tank, pump, and a new sender shipped to me in the midwest. You can get some custom...

    Fast EZ EFI

    I looked up reviews on them when I was looking into swapping my 5.7 back to injection from the initial carb install and pretty much heard nothing but good responses. I've got a friend at my work that put one on a pickup he has when the factory computer crapped out and he's pretty happy with it...

    opinions needed regarding available EFI for a small block

    I was originally looking into a FAST EZ-EFI system for my 5.7 swap (didn't get computer and harness with my engine), but ended up getting a really good deal on a used Megasquirt. It was taken off of a 340 and I got pretty much a "fuel inject a small block in a box" kit (intake, rails...

    Vapor lock on in tank pump?

    Hmm, not sure how the pump is connected since I bought the whole tank as a unit. My guess is that it's just a rubber hose clamped on both ends so that you can replace the pump fairly easily. It's an Aeromotive adjustable regulator with a vacuum reference. It started up fine after sitting for...

    Vapor lock on in tank pump?

    Yes, the tank is vented. It has a vent port on the flange and I think the gas cap is a vented style as well. I swear I could hear the pump whirring in the tank when I keyed the power a few times. I had the door open and was listening pretty close and it sounded like it normally does. The...

    Vapor lock on in tank pump?

    So I was cruising home from work today and as I was about half way through town after getting off the highway my car bobbled on the idle just a bit and then just died. At first I thought the idle drop may have been the electric fans kicking on, but obviously it wasn't because it flat out killed...

    EFI ECM: which would you choose and why?

    One of the potentially easier setups would be a FAST EZ EFI system. They offer them in a multi-port kit that is cheaper than the TBI system, though you have to come up with injectors, so it kind of balances out. You get a computer, harness, and wideband O2 sensor for just a little over $900...

    Carter AFB tuning help needed

    So I did a 5.7 Hemi swap into my Dart a few months back and decided to carb it for now (Carter AFB 625 cfm) so I could get it back on the road and then think about fuel injection later when I had the money to do it right. However, I have had nothing but trouble trying to get the carb dialed in...
