FI Advice Options

[1bad914]

I cannot believe that I am going to ask this, (big carb guy) but here I go. I just finished building a 1911 motor, it is based around an EA motor with 96 mm pistons and cylinders, the only other aftermarket thing is a Webcam 86 cam. I currently have dual DRLA 36 carbs on it now. I am thinking about putting fuel injection on this motor, I have access to a lot of FI components and really would like to give FI a try, I want to drive this everyday and thought it would be nice, I have a friend that is very familiar with Type I FI and has offered to help.

With the motor specs above what FI system would you recommend, I need specs like what brain box, injectors, dizzy...i

Is this even possible with this cam, I would like to use stock FI, and not mess with a Mega squirt. Any advice would be appreciated. I really just want to learn about FI and this is one way to do it.

I am not sure if the stock Fi would hanle the cam you have.

This is my .02, if you want to learn about FI and have a running car, go with an aftermarket system. You can still drive the car, set up the FI and have minimal down time.

They give you much more tuneability(the stock has none), are more reliable and not all that hard to setup. There is a ton of info avail. here and other places.

My MS will be in soon and of all the projects I've done on the car , this is the most fun. Many have told me that it is a world of difference from the stock system.

The price you will pay for all the stock FI components(especially the MPS),won't be much less than aftermarket. One thing you have to consider , the stock system is 30+ yrs. old, untunable and parts are becoming NLA. A new MPS will cost you about $1200 rebuilts are $300 used, about 75-100.

An aftermarket will run about $5-700 complete, depending on what you get. It will also open doors for different distributorless ignition options.

Just my .02
