Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
Hey guys, it has been a while since I have been on here. I haven't done a whole lot on the truck lately, I have the core support and radiator in now. I have been spending all my money on my upcoming marriage and honeymoon. I wanted to share a little info that I have come into lately. As most of you know, instead of a carburetor I installed the MSD Atomic EFI system. I can not say enough how awesome this system is. Something like a day after I bought the system, I started having buyers remorse when I heard about a similar system made by FiTech that cost about half as much. But, I figured oh well, might as well just stick to my guns and stay with what I already have. So at work we had a customer bring in a beautiful 1986 CJ Jeep that has a Chevy 350 in it. The customer tells me that he would like to put fuel injection on it but don't want to spend a lot of money. So instantly I start thinking FiTech! So we order this system along with the fuel command center that they suggest to go with it. After 3 months the system cam in but no fuel command center. The fuel command center is still on back order. With the customer getting impatient (rightfully so) I decided to just order a regular in line fuel pump. Let me tell you, this thing doesn't not like the fuel pump I installed, lol. In FiTechs infinite wisdom, they decided to put a internal vacuum controlled fuel pressure regulator on this thing. That to me seems really stupid. So now I think my only move is to try and bypass this regulator and install a real regulator on the return line. I will never install another one of these FiTech systems again. Garbage
