Keep us posted,please. Inquiring minds want to know !
The TBI unit came in over the weekend; not going to see the FCC until the end of the September at the earliest. In the meantime I have to weld the AF bung to the header collector and then have the headers ceramic coated. When the stars align to begin the install I'll PM you.I'm in. Momma has a sister in Tracy, & a brother in Dublin. They can come visit/entertain her. Got a hotel recomendation ? Gives me a base to operate from.
i have 3 of the systems sitting here, they are all going on 440s. one in a 1967 R/t (all stock magnum) , one in a 1974 d100 (stock with a performer intake , and 1 on a 1972 B van (engle k54, headers, & street dominator intake)

the stock pump just fill the accumulator (command center) there is a high pressure pump inside the command center that supplies the injectors. there is no good place to put the command center on a 1967 r/t. the unit is about 6.5-7" x 9ish" i am doing an inline pump with return line to tank on this one
I had been thinking about that Molotov under the hood myself. It occurred to me about adapting the impact switch Ford put in the trunk of the mid/late 80s cars. Would trip with a modest impact, sorta like a circuit breaker. Resettable, too.I hear you Yatzee; most everything's a compromise. I had already committed to EFI, in fact I just returned the other guy's system and fuel pump. So the price differential between FiTech and the other mfgs. is significant, but I also believe they've built a better mousetrap. Easier to install, much easier to return back to stock. The other consideration is that FAST is not compatible with my Petronix distributor because it doesn't have a tach output. FiTech is compatible. Another $400 I don't have to spend.
The canister holds about a quart, and I thought I read somewhere that it has a built-in rollover valve, but I couldn't find anything about it on their website. No doubt the canister should be securely mounted for safety.
What are the reviews like on that site? I want to stop by their shop and check it out.. See it up close and personal like..The tank is not under pressure, it just act like a big fuel bowl on a carburetor.
The thing is that you need to route a vent hose from the command center to your fuel tank.
I´m with you on this, I would also run a return line and an in tank fuel pump.
The Fitech system looks very interesting, but I will probably wait and hear some more feedback on this system.
There are a few reviews on this sytem at classicbroncos.com
All reviews I have read ( corvette forum, mustang, bronco, fabo forum) has been nothing but positive.What are the reviews like on that site? I want to stop by their shop and check it out.. See it up close and personal like..
Still waiting on the FCC. And my engine from the builder for that matter...Any news on the rest of your parts ?
