Doug, Sumitt has several kits to convert to MPI tho very pricey.Accel offers a complete kit for 2595.99,s/b Chevy; 2795.99 s/b Ford. Includes ECM,pump,manifold,all parts to make your carb go away. Sounds kinda pricey to give you instant start,fuel usage wont change much.
Holley has a kit also,but they have a lot of gotta haves with their system. go to Summit.com and look at what is available..............boat dr ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

Doug,Electronic Fuel Injection,is a mechanical way to induct fuel and air into an engine.The two popular ways are Multi Port Injection and Throttle Body Injection.One uses one injector for each cyl, a more complicated but better way ,TBI uses a throttle body and common injectors ,usualy 2 to accomplish fuel distribution.Its just a high tech carb,with no fuel bowl.
Sounds like a carb problem ,a new carb would be far cheaper,S/B Ford 302 ,mine,loves the Holley 450 CFM, will idle for hours at 500 rpms.............boat dr ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |
