would be good to find info in one place
Quote from Deleted user on November 16, 2017, 1:49 pmThis was my problem. Info was hard to find when I installed my system. The only good source was Facebook and then you had to ask a question that you knew had been asked before. Here we will be able to search for solutions that have already posted.

Quote from Doug on November 16, 2017, 2:07 pmI agree. So glad someone wants to take on a forum. We found a lot of good people on Facebook, but I think "pinned" post suck for organized technical discussion. Forum websites have a much more powerful search function. I would warn you to have a good rule set and be prepared to kick out the trolls. First rule should be no politics.

Quote from anix on November 16, 2017, 10:18 pmHaven't made the leap yet. I plan on getting rid of the carb that is on my engine in the near future and this unit is not far off the price of the carb I would buy so I want to learn as much as I can about the requirement for changing over. I know it will be more involved than just bolting it up. Thanks for starting the Forum!

Quote from anix on November 17, 2017, 1:01 pmTOPtuner01 I am sure I can install and tune it. I need to get back up to date but in another life I had a small shop and worked quite a bit of (mostly GM) RCM controlled systems even back to the computer control carbs. What I am looking for is dependability and to be sure that I understand all the up front cost involved with the change over. You see I would be going from a mechanical single line pump to fuel injection so I only assume there is more to the cost than just the out of the box unit.

Quote from Deleted user on November 17, 2017, 1:25 pmAnix, yes there is, but not to much. Your fuel system will need updated obviously. Fitech offers the fuel command center, but I do not recommend it. See to many problems and I don't like the clutter. I can make recommendations. It all depends on the install. Me personally, I modify my fuel pickup for an in-tank pump and then add a return line if necessary. The other cost would be your ignition system and some electrical updating. The ignition system all depends on which way you want to go. I run timing control wit the Fitech. If it is a Chevy, I use a modified small cap HEI. Those are cheap. Also I use a MSD coil and 6a box on all my installs. I have done several daily driver installs this way and we are all very happy. Almost like driving a new car, but a lot "Cooler".

Quote from pzookey on November 17, 2017, 2:22 pmNice to see a forum for this. My Fitech is still sitting on the shelf. It will be replacing a Thermoquad on top of a 440-3 Mopar motor.
I am hoping it will withstand the heat of a Motor home doghouse. The vehicle is a 1976 Dodge Travco Mahal 27' motorhome.

Quote from Deleted user on November 17, 2017, 3:13 pmPzookey, definitely have an adequate return line with an in-line or in-game fuel pump. I would not recommend the fuel command center in this application. My engine bay on my 67 c10 gets super hot in the Texas heat. Fitech runs flawlessly.
