Dial her in on the dyno to ensure your a/f ratio is where it needs to be.

It's money well spent.

I have a very similar combo,depending on traction you should/could run a low 13/high 12 at over 100mph pretty easily.

Have you made any passes in yours?

 

[NIKwoaC]

Yep,on street tires and a stiff suspension(no weight transfer) ,my best is [email protected].

 

[Gearbanger 101]

Looks good....how much do you think you've had to put into the conversion vs. just forging ahead with the EFI set up?

Well, actually selling off the efi stuff Ive actually made a little more than I had to spend (at this point)

did you have to use jet extensions or anything?

 

[Rick James]

No extensions,box stock 650 double pumper,i set the idle,adjusted the idle mixture and thats it.It runs good wheather its 40 degrees out(not that i drive it in that temp too often) or 95 degrees out.2 years like that and always starts and i can drive it anywhere.

do you have electric/manual no choke? I had a manual choke on mine but took it off. It starts fine without it just give it gas for a few seconds

 

[Rick James]

No choke,2 pumps hold it few seconds and your good to go.

 

[dr59l]

mine just fired up and ran no prob in 10 degrees. so big noticable difference in ur performance? im ready for this spring so i can get mine out and play w the new mods snow sux!!!!

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I sawed the choke horn off mine this past summer...it still starts just fine when it's cold out. Usually it'll run a few seconds by itself and die and then you pump a few times and it fires over again and you just goose it for 20 seconds and it'll idle fine even with the big cam. People exagerate the carb cold weather problems a lot...granted EFI is still better, carbs still aren't a big deal. I don't even change the jets in mine in the winter because i don't drive it enough to bother.

 

[Makdaddymac]

hmmm...i want carb!

 

[Rick James]

asecretfile,what did you use for your fuel set-up?i can hear the pump when you started your car,did you use the stock lines and pick up?

I used the stock lines from the pump forward, but for the tank I took out the efi pump and fabricated a pickup in its place. Its a Holley blue pump. Im going to sump it soon

Under the hood I took the stock bracket that used to brace the fuel lines to the engine and fabbed it a little and moved it to the fenderwell to brace the line going into the FPR
