"little boutique company'? Come on Joe , Edlelbrock may be a lot of things but "little boutique" they are not. Do a little research on Edelbrock before you make a comment like that.I would steer clear of some obscure little boutique company like Edelbrock that is jumping into EFI now that FiTech has perfected it and demonstrated there is a huge market for it..

Looks like right now they are geared towards Chevy. I did see they said a certain type of intake manifold is required for a small block Mopar, which of course, everyone has one in their garage. I’lk Wait and see how they go!
A fast 2.0 is designed to be mounted , and run all time, its the way u keep up w/ the engine .it's the hand held. Fitech has stated they didn't think anyone would want the handheld to stay plugged in and visibly mounted, so it's not designed with that in mind. Simply unplug it when you know it will be sitting. It won't lose anything, mine hasn't anyway, and no longer drains the battery
If I were running a fitech, and having trouble johny mac would be the first person I would call, u can tell he knows what he`s doing.Man i must be missing something. I live in Ohio and have many a cars sit with fuel in them. I don't even add anything to the tank when I put them away. Most sit in unheated garages some heated. But I also always put the best fuel without ethanol I can find in them. I don't take my carbs apart every year. Not even in my lawn tractors. You could just put a fuel shut off in the line and run it out of fuel when you put it away. Just trying to save you a lot of money on that "strictly a cruiser" car.
Thank you!!Ask away.

Thank you for the pointers. Which wiring figure did you follow? I am going with Figure 11. I think it is the closest to my current set up. Like you mentioned, I also have a MSD 6AL (but an older one - 6420).My white wire goes to the tach output wire from my MSD 6AL. I have electric fans but I don't have the FiTech controlling them so I can't help you there.
I kept my setup as simple as I could. No fan control or timing control. My timing is being controlled by the MSD setup very well so I didn't want to mess with it.
Jack
Sounds good - Sorry for all the dumb questions.No the white wire and blue wire together may be a little dicey. I used the same wiring as your are going to. My other post was wrong. I will fix it. I ran the blue wire to the tach out on the 6AL and the white wire to one side of the ballast resistor. Please note that I don't run a ballast resistor but I still have the wires connected together and that is what I spliced into. Works well.

In terms of ignition - I am running the MSD Blaster 3 coil, 6AL (as mentioned above) and a Mopar 2 wire distributor.
So no MSD distributor.
Will I damage something if I pull the ballast?
Thank you for clarifying.. I am listening.. Kind of. Been a long work week already hahaYou are not listening LOL
The MSD CDI does not NEED a ballast, and works very differently from a switched ignition such as points or original Mopar Read my post above
Hey Jack! I have not as of yet but will be this coming weekend. I have the wires in place but need to actually route them and cut to size etc. I am going to remove the balast and put the wires together as suggested above and see how that goes.How did you make out? Did you get it together? Inquiring minds want to know.

My main focus the last week or so has been redoing my fuel system. I finished installing a dual fitech intake pump the other day and have new braided nylon lines i am using now too. Need to cut them to length and install the new regulator once that arrives hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Once i get my fuel system figured out I will finish up the wiring and then see what happens!
My last piece of the puzzle will be what guage of wire to use at the fuel pump when factoring in voltdrop. I got some great advice on that from here too!
What is your fuel system comprised of? Do you have an intank pump? Or the FCC?
