<VV> Fuel injection question

[FrankCB at aol.com]

Frank,
    That's why when I converted my 180 to an electric  fuel pump, I installed 
a tee in the steel (brake) line I used to connect from  the pressure 
regulator to the carb.  The tee (now plugged off) will be used  to install a pressure 
gauge so I can monitor the actual gas pressure to the carb  in case problems 
develop.
    I agree that it's a good idea to do these  modifications in stages so 
that you "prove out" each change BY ITSELF and not  have to look for problems 
amidst a whole bunch of mods.
    Good luck and let us know how it works out.
    Frank "another one" Burkhard

I built  a megasquirt II and used in in my 87 gmc jimmy when i put a tuned 
port  injection 350 in it. i also used the ford EDIS system to replace the  
distributer while i was at it. the only problem i had was when i changed the  fuel 
pump to a high pressure pump there was a piece of fluff in the pickup  sock 
that would clogg the screen of the pump inlet after about half a mile let  it 
sit for 30 seconds and it would run great for anouther couple of blocks and  
die I spent several weeks trying to track that down. i was fixed in thinking  it 
was a megesquirt problem but i was wrong. i am currently building another  
one for my 66 the plan is to get the engine up and running on carbs then add  
throttle body injection, then add distributerless ignition and then get rid of  
the (2 or 4) throttle bodies and add the turbo and change to port injection  
with intercoolers and a knock sensor.
