Had a neighbor that had a 69 car with 428 and one really long Saturday we installing them in the parking lot of the apartment. The bottom bolts were a real challenge. Worst thing eight pipes and no instructions. It did not go smoothly.

Things are starting to look better.

I’m lost just looking at the wiring and hoses.

Configuring the car will take a little time. Every channel has to be assigned with parameters. Holley videos are a big help. I think they are very good for us non computer folks it has easy step by step information and playing along builds my confidence

You have more patience than me Larry!! I just pulled the CFI off my 93,000km all original 86 mustang. Pulled that and stuck a 2bbl on. If the timing doesn't stop acting up it'll get a duraspark distributor too! Not into diddling with EFI I guess, looking at simplicity.

I certainly see where it can be beneficial in a higher hp combo though where each cyl can be fueled and timed separately by computer.

Keep it up, loving the thread!

The hood is on and we think all wires out of danger. Out to the trailer to get nitrogen bottle to fill shocks. Nothing work in trailer changed battery to group 31 AGM. Had to move position of battery 90 degrees and bolt it to the floor. All wires were long enough to connect I just had to reroute them to get the covers to fit. Rivnuts to the rescue. Need to order bulbs for flood lights. Fill engine with water and scale.

With every zip tie you use cut close, then always use a bic lighter on the cut tail to slightly melt and dull the end. Works on FIRST High School robots and autos.

Thank me later. It is fast and efficient.

Hope we get to see you make some runs this weekend at Beech Bend.

Bad news. For some reason I have misplaced my AW-32 adapter for the regulator for the nitrogen cylinder. Shocks get around 125 psi of nitrogen to make them work. I order two of them and should be here next week. We are going to miss D3 Pts race at BG. No way we can be ready by Thursday test and tune.
And so it goes
