Thanks for the reply, the Mallory is a three wire dizzy correct? Did you hook it up to the FiTech ignition control or run the dizzy without the FiTech timing control?
Very nice!
I am running w/o the ignition control. If your not racing don't know why you would need ignition control.
Yeah... i decided to swap the sender units after reading your post. Thanks.
The plan is to use the ECU to control timing once I have all under control. However, it will be a slow process. First I am planing to add CD ignition w/o control, and then I will add control. I will need a new distributor, like a Duraspark type. However, since this winter my plan is to take the motor out to stroke it, I may just wait until that's done so there will be less issues to deal with once I restart it next year.
When you let the ECU control timing I have found that it smooth's out the motor considerably. I have been running my EFI system for over 2 years now and am really happy with it. Tuning the motor is really a snap now, no more changing jets, adjusting A/F etc. Just punch what you want in the handheld and you are done. You can also monitor your motor while driving to see what it is doing.
Wow.... there is an idea.... a six pack would look so cool. They have the dual quad but thats not as appealing as six pack.
Looks awesome you did a great job! Planning on going with the PowerSurge II too with my Holley Sniper setup ::thumb:: Will install the pump in the same place as you did.Here are a few pictures of my install. I will post more details in my build thread. In essence I have a PowerSurge pump from RobBMC installed on the passenger rear side of the engine compartment (removed the charcoal canister). This pump is fed by the engine's mechanical pump. I have a return line to the tank returning via the top of the tank. Venting is now through the cap. I used Russell Pro Classic fuel hoses in the engine compartment. The location of the pump is very convenient since it minimized the length of the fuel hoses. I tried to hide all the wiring as much as possible. The only clues are the fuses, which I left on top of the shock tower bracing for easy access and convenience.
Today I drove for a few miles and is running great except for some bugging during acceleration. It has a lot of settings that I will have to play to fix that. However, the recommend to let it run on its own so it can learn from the system. It got better the more I use it. I love the LCD controller which allows you to see all the parameter while you drive. The location in the ashtray pocket is perfect.

Hard to tell there is an EFI system unless you really know what to look for, and except for the exposed fuse holders:
Without the filter base:

Thanks. I think that location works great. Now, keep in mind that i have ceramic coated headers, but I still covered the bottom half of the pump's tank with heat shield and insulating spray. On top of that i added a heat shield to the header pipes that were near the tank. And to be even more on the safe side i covered the heater hoses that run through there. Maybe overkill, but it is inexpensive insurance. The last thing you want is for the gasoline to boil.
I noticed that you have the same car and running gear. what headers are you using? I need a set for 2bbl heads C6 and power steering.
