Things got a little reversed tonight. The AC held vacuum but instead of charging the system we decided to tackle the last of the fuel injection items. Got the timing dialed in. Next I need to put about 75 to 100 miles on the car so the ECU can get through the learning process. The weather is not cooperating so that may have to wait until spring. Hurry spring....

Decided to wake up this thread instead of starting a new one. I'll go back and see if I can fix all the pictures that good old Photobucket screwed up. Since the MSD Atomic decided it was a good time to have the ECU go stupid and a new ECU is about $322 I decided to switch over to a return fuel system and drop a Holley Sniper on instead. It just so happens we had a Sniper on order for another project so I will pick that one up from the local Holley dealer tomorrow for my use and order another one at the same time for the other project. I am totally burned out with MSD support. Hours on hold, incorrect answers, hanging up before the issue is fully resolved, and so on. On to Holley since we have a Holley certified shop close by that has a dyno we can dyno tune the system once it is installed. The tanks has been "welled" in the original fuel sender location to accommodate a new Holley in tank fuel pump. A "well" was also added to fit up the new solid state sending unit. This way the tank can fit flat to the trunk floor and I don't have to cut the trunk floor for any reason. Since all I could get new was a 22 gallon tank as opposed to the original 17-18 gallon tank I will be picking up a wee bit more capacity. Just have to plug up the old copper vent tube yet.     |

Looks good Ken! As a suggestion, you might want to consider putting in an access panel in the trunk. Fuel pumps do go bad especially if it's not a Walbro.

What gauge steel did you use for the well in the tank..??
Some nice looking fab skills too..!! Following along as I've been "thinking" about going injection also. Neighbor has a very nice custom 49 Panel. I hear him on cold mornings trying to get his LS crate going... stumblin and a bumblin. Would be nice to just fire up with out carb probs... |

Spent a little time today on the Hornet but the heat, rain, and humidity did me in early. Started mocking up the Sniper and running in a few of the wires.  Between rain showers I did manage to get the new gas tank cleaned up and applied a coat of paint. Wow, that is some paint.  It is one of the few Eastwood products I like to use. It has a catalyst hardener in it. Very sweet.  |

The picture gives the effect of chrome, to my old eyes anyway. Looks real nice.

Update the thread to put back all the pictures that were "lost" due the Photobucket fiasco. Enjoy
