efi on....but not running

66fastback · 01-05-2001, 11:53 PM

I just got done putting the windsor jr's back on the car and hooking up the efi. I wish I could report better news, but it barely runs at all. This could be another long weekend......anybody who wants the details can look in the windsor power board. I can't wait to get this sorted out and on the road.

Hey 66,

I hope it is all squared away by the time you read this! I had a similar problem when I put the engine back in my '65. My friend who helped me was a chevy man and their #1 cylinder is on the other side of the engine. So when he hooked up the plug wires they were on the wrong side of the engine. I'm sure your problem is just as simple to correct.

Hey Red!! Good news, it is just the injectors. They have been sitting for about 7 years or so and were just stuck. I cleaned them up as best I could and put them back in and she is up and running on her own now. I still have some work to do, but now I'm fuel in-jected.

Skyler, you've got nothing to be jeleous about....you've got a killer ride. You're sig sure lists a lot of parts I wish I had!!

I'm pretty happy with the finished product though...things went together really nicely. Looks fairly professional.
