    FI recommendation for 360 Dart

    I'm going with the 800 AVS2 on the Coronet.

    FI recommendation for 360 Dart

    To be fair, it starts right up when cold and runs great. Ditching the POS FCC for an intank pump solved a lot of the initial issues. If I stop and get gas, jump back in, it starts right up. There's a 10 -15 minute window, after that the prime shot will work but no cranking shot. I've...

    FI recommendation for 360 Dart

    I installed a FiTech FI unit on the Coronet during the resto. Been struggling with the system going on five years now. This winter I'm going back to a carb. In the five years that it's been on the road, the fuel pump in the Fuel Command Center died, requiring a flatbed tow; I then installed a...

    Carburetor, MSD, Holley Sniper EFI questions

    I doubt you have a 1450 carb; that's essentially a race carb. The underlined W is the Weber logo, found on Edelbrock carbs - should look like the one posted above.

    Carburetor, MSD, Holley Sniper EFI questions

    I second 67 gt. If you're not up for it, moving over to efi is a bear. I did it on my Coronet, been running FiTech for 3 1/2 years. The terms "plug n play" and "learns as you drive" are marketing slogans. If you try installing and tuning the system yourself you'll end up joining about 1/2...

    Tanksinc in tank fuel pumps

    Thanks again. You gave me a couple of new ideas. I'm using the PTFE hose and Russell fittings from Tanks. The fittings are all 180* so when assembled the filter takes up about 3/4' of linear real estate. Didn't think about it until seeing your pics, I need to swap in a couple 90* fittings...

    Tanksinc in tank fuel pumps

    I just got my Tanks Inc setup for the Coronet, with the LS filter (only difference is I'm running FiTech). I really like how you plumbed the LS filter. I'm attempting to install the filter this weekend, but with the supplied Russell quick disconnect fittings, the footprint is almost 1 linear...

    FiTech EFI system

    Update - FiTech issued an RMA and I sent the entire TB back. Within one week they sent back a refurbed current version TB with the 4 + 2 connector. Incompatible with the V1 6 pin, but one email was all it took to get an undated harness. I bought the v1 in Sept 2015 and the replacement unit...

    FiTech EFI system

    Anybody have any issues with the 6 pin connector? Running the 600HP with the FCC for two years now, sorted out most if not all of the initial programming issues. About 3 weeks ago the car died while cruising down the street. Pulled over, restarted and it fired up. Drove it home, restarted in...

    FiTech EFI system

    When I say OK, I mean just OK. I can't recommend the product, not when other guys I know have installed `other name brand systems and have had no where near the tuning issues. My Dart with a more radical cam and Eddy carb runs better and is more reliable than the Coronet.

    FiTech EFI system

    I agree. I installed the system in June and had idle and warm start issues. Cody walked me through those issues. On Aug 26th I adjusted the IAC below 10 and it's been OK since then.

    FiTech EFI system

    Same thing happened to me - twice. Pull the air cleaner and have a spray bottle or cup of gasoline handy; have someone crank the engine and when it fires up spray/pour gas down the throttle bore. If the engine keeps trying to run then it's fuel delivery. Crude, but it works. I did the master...

    FiTech EFI system

    that's great info Phreakish. My IAC counts bounce between 3 - ~15; going to try your suggestions. BTW, did you get this info from FiTech or did you have previous experience tuning EFI? And now I'm wondering if FiTech is more a tuner product than the other brands, because I know a few FBBO...

    FiTech EFI system

    Check your IAC steps at warm idle - it's under the Dashboard menu on the handheld. Mine originally was in the 50's, needs to be between 3 -10. Have to turn the idle air screw at the drivers side front of the TB clockwise to lower. Do it with the engine off, then start and check the reading at...

    FiTech EFI system

    Thanks for the input guys. The issue always points back to the ecu. Dropping the IAC to below 10 has helped the hot starts. Got the Coronet started last night - had to do a system recal - second time I've had to blow out the cal and re-input. Using the Tach function. Upside is that I can do...

    FiTech EFI system

    I've had the FiTech and FCC on my 440 Coronet now for about two months and unfortunately I have not had success with it. The unit will not reliably start; stranded me again today; first two starts were fine. Original problem was hot start; turned the idle screw to lower the warm idle IAC to <...

    FiTech EFI system

    Thanks for the quick response. I've gassed up twice, and no "whoosh". And I bought the unit last July/Aug direct from FiTech before I know about you and Pace, in fact I don't believe they had any distribution network yet. When I convert the Dart I will certainly patronize your company.

    FiTech EFI system

    Johnny, first of all, thanks for all your help and support. I recently finished installing the FiTech in my Coronet, posted the install over on the B Body side, starting at #70. I have a question about your statements on the venting. The Coronet has two vent lines coming out of the sending...

    FiTech EFI system

    the TBI showed up a couple of days after ordering. The FCC is going to be a few weeks out. Meanwhile I drilled a hole in the header collector/reducer for the AF sensor; welding the bung this weekend.

    FiTech EFI system

    A good carb properly tuned for the track will outperform the EFI, or at the very least you won't notice a difference converting over. The benefit is in the driving to and from the track. Smoother idle, a little better gas mileage, less fuel wash, crisper part-throttle response. I'm converting...

    FiTech EFI system

    Wow! A hearty thank you to all of you that replied. Bill - good question, I had the same feeling the other day as I hung up the phone. So I just got off the phone with Bryce, their tech, same gentleman I talked to the other day. Full disclosure - I am not by any means an automotive electronic...

    FiTech EFI system

    Ken, thanks for the detailed write up and pics. I've got a FAST EZ EFI and Aeromotive Phantom Stealth fuel pump still in the box that I'll be returning. I have a question about the wiring: all the EFI mfgs require hot electrical source in both On/Run and Crank positions. When I talked to...

    High idle

    I have a 360 crate motor with an M1 single plane and Eddie 650 w/electric choke. The t-housing spung a leak so i removed the housing and had a friend true up the base at his machine shop. The t-housing is installed and leak free. However, while the housing was off I removed the throttle...
