I have the terminator kit on my 466 and it's very nice. The only things I don't like is that you have to purchase a fuel pump separate and if you want to know you fuel pressure you need to but more pieces to get that reading, and you don't get a signal out of the toe to control an electronic OD transmission, you need a stand alone tps for that.

But other than that it's a great system, I really like the software and being able to adjust the fuel table parameters and then let it self learn as you drive. I also control my timing with it and it's a great piece as well. Enjoy! D

Initial advance isn't nearly as critical as a properly curved distributor.

Thanks all,
So have decided to go with a efi setup now.

I'm running out of things to do so though well the next step would be possibly be having some body work then having it painted.

But the efi will give me a project to do.

Still got a sort out a bunch of stuff that's in the bed that, I got a figure out what to do with or find a home for it....

Then got a dispose of a camper shell that's kind of seen better days.
So it will be sold cheap or it will meetup with my sawall!

Then take it in for body& paint work.

Then guess, I could watch some grass grow for something to do after dusting off the new painted truck.

I know Orich orderd the Holley but I wanted to mention this system.

Hamilton Fuel Injection

The Corn Binder guys love it. It's GM's TBI system but tailored to your vehicle. It controls distributor if you want. Hamilton has installed kits on FEs and other makes. It's a basic system that is reliable.

I've just been an old fashion Holley guy since, I was 16 so that makes it like 57yrs.

So when, I came across a Holley ad with a pop up that offered it at even a lower price of $1799.xx for the kit reduced below their listed already discount 20% off price $21xx.

I thought wow, I may not get this offer again at this new lowered price then what's on on their web site so, Me and the credit card devil though oh yeah!

So, I jumped on the lower price. Not sure if it was me or the devil made me order it.

I've seen this easy way efi setup with the Fitech fuel common center #40003 and thought, I'd most likely go this way for a fast setup.

But still kicking this around. Plug see where, I can mount it as, not much extra room under my hood. But think, I can move my windshield washer tank of rad over flow to mount the Fitech fuel common center.

But, I'll hold off for a while an see if any holiday discounts will drop the prices any where before buying one.

If your rad overflow reservoir isn't mounted to the left of your rad, you may be able to mount a 1997 Cougar/T-bird wiper reservoir there like I did. It has a pump mounted to the bottom of it I spliced in to the original Bump's pump wiring. Also a low fluid sensor I have not hooked up yet. 94/96 Cougar/T-bird tank may be similar. I used the 97 Cougar dual horn set up and mounted both on the right side. Note, this 97 tank is real tall so it goes all the way down the side of the radiator. My radiator core support does not have those extra reinforcement brackets down by where it mounts to the frame I've seen on other Bumps. Like Garrett's. So this 97 tank went all the way down and tucked up against the core support.




wiper bottle and motor assembly out of a 1997 T Bird/Cougar.

That a nice setup Jeff but I've got air intake ducked coming in on both side of my rad. I think if I move my washer tank the Fitach fuel cylinder com-tank will fit into that area. Then use an later dual rad & washer tank mounted on the right between the Batt. & Rad. would fit into that space.

But still thinking about running the line back to my in cab tank tho.
Which could be done about half the price as the fuel command tank.

I saw a forum when to fuel command tank pump had over heating issues. was boiling fuel out the vent tube that stalled the engine out.
That was later corrected.

So, I'll keep researching the best way to go.

Orich
The pics not to good for seeing my left side of rad.

Welcome to the EFI crowd...... you'll love it... except for feeding the harness through the firewall - that was a pain. Be patient and be methodical!!!

As of this date (11/23/2016) Summit has the 550-441 offered for $1844.96.

Same as what, I got from Holley with the gray, the shiny one a $100 cheaper.
But if they don't do good in sales who know how low they'll sell them for.

Any discount is better then red price tho.

I recall drilling a 1.25-inch hole for the same size rubber plug. Ya feed the biggest bodied plug thru then work your way to the smallest because the hole will get more crowded thus smaller with each successive plug body and wires.
