Well I think that it's time for me to start this thread, as I am past the initial installation and start up.
The back story.
I had a '72 350 which was running fine with TBI on an Edelbrock performer intake with an adapter and 1" spacer. It had a head crack and leak coolant. The heads were milled some, and had screw in studs and guide plates. I made the decision to go with Edelbrock aluminum heads, this forced me to upgrade exhaust as my manifolds were too small.
After these two parts swaps, the TBI was not happy. It had a custom chip already and the data-log wasn't showing a problem, but it wasn't driveable. The 1200 rpm and up was bad. Stumbling and using too much gas. No power. I did consult Howell EFI and he helped me fix a small amount, but it still was bad.
After much consideration, I decided to try the Edelbrock system. It has timing control already, fuel pressure is hooked to a vacuum reference, intake air temp sensor and MAP sensor, progressive throttle bores, which are 44mm each, 4 of them. Sequentially fired injectors with a single plane intake. Wideband O2 sensor included. The ECM is remote mounted, bluetooth accessible and has an IBM (?) port too. I believe that a USB port would be better, but I don't know for sure.
I called Edelbrock tech before I made the decision and was pleased that I had a guy on the line in a few seconds. But I still didn't know that I was going in the right direction.
I liked the fact that I could use an Android device to link to it.
I ordered the system from Summit and got to work.
This is how it showed up.
