Great to hear it runs good and getting better each time out. Do you think your MPG changed much and if so how?

Would you mine listing the part numbers you use for the kit & any add ons you got? I want to add this to my “want list” and like to have all the info.

Thanks

I bought the 60227 Master Kit from Atlantic Speed -- just over $1900.00 shipped to my door.
 
I bought a new repro sending unit and a repro gas tank from APD -- Just over $500.00 shipped to my door (you won't need either of these if yours are in decent shape).
 
I got the AMC NOS water outlet (AMC part #3238508) off Ebay about a year ago, and don't remember what I paid -- probably like $25.00 shipped (if your manifold already has a bung for 3/8 NPT, you won't need this either...).
 
I modded my existing thermostat (was nearly new), but you could replace it if you wanted to.
 
I spent probably another $30.00 on shop supplies and little stuff like metal screws to mount the ECU and Regulator, a relay to feed full 12V from the battery to the "switched 12v" input to the ECU, wire ties, and a few crimp-on connectors to hook up the relay and feed wire from under the dash as well as the primary + and - wires from the ECU directly to the battery terminals.
 
Altogether, that's less than $2500.00 (and less than $2K if you don't need the tank/sender).

Thanks I went back thru the posts and the first one did say Master Kit and from who, what a dummy I am ;) I had my tank done a few years ago and a new sender at the time too so just need to add the return. That is the EZ part coming up with the $$ is the hard part.

Again great job & thanks again.

This whole thing is very intriquing to me but one thing I didn't see mentioned was why you opted to go back to the stock intake rather than keep the dual plane.  Regardless of how the fuel is supplied, I would think that a performance intake would increase the overall performance with fuel injection just like it would with a carb. 
 
What factors contributed to your decision to go back to the stock intake? Also, did you consider substituting a Machine intake rather than the stock 70 intake?

Dan, that would be a whole 'nuther thread -- I'll send you a PM.

My guess on the images is in the name:
To me, this indicates a very long name with a space and some browsers simply don't deal with a special character in the name - the &amp - I'd have to look up. Some browsers don't play well with such things and since IE isn't a standards based browser it would work while the standards-based browsers, Firefox, Mozilla, etc. probably or might not work..........

Yup - check this out (it's the file name doing it):

http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp

Ampersands (&'s) in URLs

Another common error occurs when including a URL which contains an ampersand ("&"):

<!-- This is invalid! --> <a href="foo.cgi?chapter=1&section=2&copy=3&lang=en">...</a>

This example generates an error for "unknown entity section" because the "&" is assumed to begin an entity reference. Browsers often recover safely from this kind of error, but real problems do occur in some cases. In this example, many browsers correctly convert &copy=3 to ©=3, which may cause the link to fail. Since &lang; is the HTML entity for the left-pointing angle bracket, some browsers also convert &lang=en to 〈=en. And one old browser even finds the entity &sect;, converting &section=2 to §ion=2.

To avoid problems with both validators and browsers, always use &amp; in place of & when writing URLs in HTML:

<a href="foo.cgi?chapter=1&amp;section=2&amp;copy=3&amp;lang=en">...</a>

Note that replacing & with &amp; is only done when writing the URL in HTML, where "&" is a special character (along with "<" and ">"). When writing the same URL in a plain text email message or in the location bar of your browser, you would use "&" and not "&amp;". With HTML, the browser translates "&amp;" to "&" so the Web server would only see "&" and not "&amp;" in the query string of the request.

I have not been a IE or windblows user in a long time. I was able to use Konqueror to see the pictures.
