I have also changed the title of this post..... dropped the EFI from it.

That's right, the EFI will be taken down this week-end. I'll eBay the parts (I always do good money on eBay, so it's no big deal).
Will only have lost, time-pride-and a bit of money (you only live once...)

I had the Megasquirt 1 extra, it didn't work at all, couldn't even go round the neighborhood.
Got the Microsquirt v2, which is a Megasquirt 2 in super small size. Bigger CPU, more memory more stuff in it etc....
It's a great piece of kit, but can't handle my engine for some unknown reasons.
Truly a mystery at why it's not working as it should.

Learned a lot in fuel injection, the things you can tune is beyond your imagination.
And there is no way, absolutely no way you can take a carb to that level of tuning.
However I would not hesitate to do it again but on a 4 cylinders engine this time.


The order I place today with SummitRacing, was:
new fuel regulator
new fuel lines for my Holley carb (good thing I didn't sell it, I knew it would become handy one day)
new ignition coil

With a bit of luck, it might arrive by Saturday, fingers crossed.
But by Sunday, the EFI will be out and the carb will be back on. (not plumbed in, but fixed)

I said I would never go back to a carb, but I have no choice. Well there's one but it's a 4 digits sum to get a proper EFI system....

[kermit]

As per today, the EFI is off. I took the all thing down and installed the carb
Just waiting for my goodies to arrive, that's dizzy fuel regulator and small other bits.

steph you are a very patient man at  this stage i would have lost the plot with the car

[kermit]

Thanks Javed.

I have a very short fuse for certain things, and extreme patience for other stuff.
I will NOT sell the car. I WILL get it on the road for good very soon.

It will be good to see your coupe back on the road again Steph.

[Sandy]

That's a shame.

The fellow with the fuel injected 302C with Megasquirt is just about ready to go apparently.

[kermit]

it is a shame, but it's not working on my engine at all. Can't figure out why.
It's not a lack of trying, but I'm going back to carb.

[kermit]

The new distributor is in, wired up the passenger side and also the fuel line at the carb.


too cold and too wet out there, will carry on at the week-end

[Shelby Lad]

Looking good mate bet you can't wait to get it started 

[Mustang-Boss-302]

Like the way you have run the ht leads down the side of the heads. very neat.

[kermit]

I need to go to ThinkAuto this coming Saturday to finish up the fuel lines. I might be able to finish this by Sunday.

[kermit]

I bought a Mallory HT lead kit, they have enough length to do this.

I was going to say. Big George Foreman could skip with them. I thought you had 302 for some reason.

[kermit]

Fuel line is 99.99% complete, just missing a 1/8 npt plug for the 0.01% .
HT leads are done.

What left to do:
drill four holes for the coil
wire up the distributor +12v, ground and tacho.

Will be done next week-end.

[dbdee]

Kermy,whats a 0.01 HT lead mean please

D.

[dbdee]

Serious question,Kermit !
