Reply to "Fuel Injection"

Even though my right foot was very sore, I couldn't resist the opportunity to take my first ride with the newly installed Edelbrock carb.  I drove with fellow forum member Riley out to Malibu Cars and Coffee at Malibu Country Mart very early in the morning.  The way there was a little nerve wracking as I wasn't sure how my foot would respond, but the 20 mile or so trip was uneventful and enjoyable.  After parking our matching red cars on the street, the shopping center had closed the parking lot, we enjoyed seeing some great cars, meeting some very nice enthusiasts and others, and sat out in the sunshine having a good time on a warm day.  It was on just such days that I would inevitably have a problem on the way home.  Afternoon warmth, a little traffic, and my fuel injection system would first begin to sputter and then would stall at the first time I came to a stop.  Sometimes I was left in very precarious situations, and I would have to wait 15-20 minutes for the car to cool afterwhich I could restart and drive the car, sometimes only a few blocks before it would happen again.  I'm happy to say that yesterday, the return trip was as uneventful as the morning trip, and I'm happy.  I'm thrilled to have some confidence now that I won't be stranded though I do think I'll miss the ease at which the fuel injection started the car with just a simple twist of the key, but I'll gladly put up with the pumping the pedal a couple of times and letting it warm up for the ability to make a round trip without breaking down.  Be careful if you're thinking about a Holley EFI system in your Pantera.
