Well I started my efi swap.

Cool, keep us updated as you go.

Still waiting on the new gas tank bolts to show up.
|
The appropriate length bolts with heavy duty flat washers will make a good place holder til the t bolts show up, if it's holding you up from running lines, and wiring. Just fyi
|
The bolts came yesterday afternoon. I got the tank and the vent installed.
|
Slow and steady is the game. Do it right, do it once.
What tank and pump did you go with? |
It is a Tanks tank and pump.
|
You'll be happy with that setup. I run a Tanks Inc. tank with their GPA-4 module. I've had it in the car since 2015 and about 25000 miles. It's a solid, reliable setup.
|
I am using 550-516 with the GPA-5 pump. I bought the setup from a member here but i'm not going to use the dist,coil, and the hyper spark. I want to use my ignition setup.
|
Run the timing control with the system. I ran my traditional ignition setup with my FiTech up until last year for simplicity sake. The difference is night and day.
Yes the initial setup is a little bit more complex, but once the setup is complete the tunability in the system grows… a lot! For me, throttle response increased further, fuel mileage increased, engine runs cooler and I gained a full 1.5” of vacuum. I don’t run a massive cam at a 232/238 112 but the timing control really tamed the combination compared to the HEI. So much so that I’m really after a much more aggressive cam at this point. Good for thought. |
^truth. I run a 242/251@.050 hyd roller that will easily idle at 850 rpms. I haven't attempted to go lower cause I don't need to. Being able to manipulate the timing in a non linear manner makes a lot of difference.
|
Finally got the plumbing done. Now on to wiring.
|
What kind of combination is it going on?
|
It is a stroked 400/462 with eheads.

To OP,
I had the Sniper system installed on my '70 GTO. It had the Fi-Tech on it. What a change. I think you will love it, I know I do. My '70 has a 400/462 in it with edelbrock heads like your car. Good luck with it. |
What do you like better about the Sniper over the Fi Tech? Fi Tech has a pretty big following too and seems to be reliable. You can PM if you wish. I'm just curious.

Okay, I wasn't part of that thread and I've been away a couple months.
I had never heard of the Fi Tech not retaining it's learn table when the battery is disconnected, that's interesting. |
