![]() So far I can get the car to fire only if I give her some gas (don't necessarily need to floor it). She'll run as long as I keep feeding her fuel. But once I take my foot of the gas, she dies quick. I have no check engine lights on. The engine is REAL hot and boiled over without the rad. cap on using only water as collant. Also, my engine builder complained of getting shocked as he held the TB open and touched the fender which says to me a ground problem. These are the main problem keeping me from taking the car for it's first ride. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated! My combination is below.
A blueprinted and balanced '69 351W block bored and stroked to 393 cubes with a SCAT crank, SRP forged pistons @ 10.5/1 compression. I'm using Edelbrock Performer heads w/2.02 valve, Performer RPM upper intake mounted on a Edelbrock 5.8 truck lower manifold. The fuel injectors are 30lb. FRPP and I have a Pro-M 75MM MAF sensor calibrated for the injectors. The spark is powered by MSD 6AL box with rev limiters. Throttle body is a 70MM BBK piece and I am not running any cooling lines to it. Nor do I have a smog pump. Headers are BBK 351W swap and cats/H-pipe are BBK 2 1/2 going inot Flowmasters. Cooling system is a Fluidyne radiator with a black magic electric fan. ALthough it's not installed right now, I'm using a 195 degree thermostat. Sensors-I used the ACT sensor between runner 5 and 6 and an ECT sensor which is plugged into the thermostat housing. The ECT sensor wouldn't fit into the manifold itself. Currently, the only open plug on the EFI harness is for the cannister purge which I don't need. I also have the sensors plugged into the TB and the EGR spacer. ------------------ Finally DONE!! 93 GT, 393 stroker w/ Edlebrock Performer heads and EFI, 30lb injectors, Dynamic Roller Mite C4, 8 pt cage, Sothside Machine bars & Sub-frames, 3.73's, '69 351W block w/SCAT crank. |
