I saw the new forum and decided to post a few pictures and links to the Dustbin Duster project that I did for Car Craft a few years back. This was a fairly well financed project so the car got a full Holley Dominator setup complete with a Wilson Manifolds modified intake. Sequential injection, 1000 cfm throttle body, coil near plug ignition, 36-1 crank trigger, cam trigger was a billet distributor housing with a Ford sensor. Fuel tank ended up being custom built with a Holley fuel cell type of pump. The car drove great. The factory dash was replaced with a Holley Pro Dash setup and most of the controls were switched over to digital. It was a big project! I did most of it by myself but I did have help in a few areas. I had to invent a few parts since they didn't exist at the time but that was just part of the process. There are a few more choices available now for Mopar engines than existed when I did the project.

So clean and sanitary. I love seeing that car. You do very nice work. Any idea where it’s at now? What stuff did you have to invent?
 
The Dustbin Duster articles are still available on the Hot Rod website but the links to them keep getting moved so I put copies on my website in the Tech section. This link should get you to all of the Dustbin articles as well as some other magazine articles that I worked on: Tech Articles | AR Engineering

I sold the car shortly after I finished the project. The guy who bought got a killer deal.
The ignition stuff required designing new products. Nobody was selling a cam trigger for Mopar engines at that time so I had to design one. Same with the crank trigger and the resulting brackets and mating parts. This project produced about 20 new products for AR Engineering.
