Re: Over 25 Years Later, Finally My 71 C-10 Truck Build

Last real progress was on 9/12. Long time. I've been busy with work and the Jimmy build, but that is almost buttoned up and ready to put away for the winter. The reason for this post is that I found a deal on a Holley Pro-Jection EFI set up from a board member here. It's paid for and hopefully gets shipped this coming week. It's not a fancy unit, just the 2D and rated for 275 HP, which should be just about perfect for my little 283. I'll have to re-do a little gas line work, but it should be a pretty easy install. The edelbrock carb will be swapped to the Jimmy. This EFI is probably the easiest and cheapest way to do it. New systems are around $1000 or more from Holley, used ones can be found for around $300 plus or minus. The FAST EZ-EFI is what I really wanted, with the self tuning feature, but those systems will set you back nearly $2000.

I've had a good break from this project. Now I think I'm ready to take it on again.
