Yeah I rememberAnyone else remember this guy?
I think there was another Mustang II guy that went down this road.... spent thousands of dollars on this path... only to eventually go back to a carburetor, sell the EFI system for a loss, and then in a way too late epiphany, realize his alternator wasn't putting out enough amperage...
Anyone else remember this guy?
In my opinion thats a little low for the heads and cam you have...I have the idle set at 650
It sure wouldn't hurt anything just to try it higher. Mine sure is.In my opinion thats a little low for the heads and cam you have...
ElSuperPinto is dead. The jackwagon that bought it yanked the powertrain and slapped it into a Ranger. I'd have never known, but a friend sent me the listing for the roller asking if it was my old car about three months after he bought it.Yeah I remember
I miss El Super Pinto...
HUGE update - IT RUNS!! Sorry, no video - it fought me the whole way, but I got it started and running. The idle is a little higher than where I programmed it to be, and no matter what, it floods when attempting to start it. I'll have to tinker with the settings to see if I can adjust the initial pulse, but it runs. One problem I'm having, which I was curious about beforehand AND was eluded to on the second page by @Bullitt347 is that when I mash the throttle it stumbles pretty hard. I think that the cut plenum divider isn't quite enough as it is now, so I think it either needs a spacer or a single plane intake swap. I don't think the Offy intake I have will work, so that would mean a new manifold. OR I could try a spacer and hope that that works, but if it does I'll definitely need a new hood scoop as the current setup won't allow anything taller than I already have. Initial thoughts are a Boss-9 scoop but I really don't like the looks of them on a II. I've also thought about running the current manifold to a shop and having them mill the divider down farther than I already have in hopes that that'll work but there's no guarantees on that. So, I guess I'm at another standstill until I figure out which path I want to take.
Choice #1: Carb spacer and Boss 429 scoop.
Cons: I think the scoop is too tall for the looks of the car and it's probably the most expensive option just making a quick Google search for new scoops.
Choice #2: Buy and try a single plane intake.
Cons: It's still gonna cost me a couple hundred dollars MINIMUM.
Choice #3: Take the existing manifold to a shop and have them mill the divider more than I already have.
Cons: don't really know what it'll cost but I can't imagine it being as expensive as the other 2 options.
What I'm going to do right now is run to Summit Racing in McDonough and pick up a couple 1/2" spacers. I figure that'll give me an idea of what works and what doesn't so I can HOPEFULLY make an informed decision.
Did you buy the last one because it is showing unavailable for me?Went ahead and pulled the trigger on this one on Amazon. It's roughly the same size, but the Cervini's scoop tapers in the back and I think that'll give me the same issue as I already have with my current scoop.
