Reply to "Fuel Injection"

DavidNunn,

Nobody wanted the Holley system to work more than me.  I hated the process of starting my car previous to the fuel injection installation so much that I just gave up driving it.  And so long as the temperature remained under about 50*F and the engine temp at about 160*F, the car ran great, but here in L.A. that meant you could only drive it at about 6am on a winter day.  After getting stranded in some extremely dangerous situations, and after my two mechanics from different shops could not diagnose nor eliminate the problem, I just had to give up if I was ever going to drive the car again.  I can't tell you how gratifying it was to drive out to Malibu with fellow member Riley on Sunday, come back in the afternoon and not find myself stalled in the middle of the ride on the 101 freeway.  Out of habit, I kept expecting it to happen and was nervous the whole way home, but it was flawless all the way.  So long as I don't have to pull the air cleaner, dump gas into the carb, run back and try and start it before running back to screw on the air cleaner, I'll live with the carb.  Hopefully, the Edelbrock unit prevents me from experiencing this sequence of my previous carburetor.  I'm glad your system works well, I wish mine could have.  The thousands of dollars spent doing and eliminating the installation could have been much better spent on other things.
