Thank you for this! A few things I don't know: bore size, pedal ratio, wheel cylinder size. But will look to collect. One thing I did find, is...
Working to set up for pressure bleeding my brakes (front disc, rear drum, MC under floor). The front discs have a metering hold-off valve in the...
Not yet - just finishing the re-wire and some other things. Now running with the new EFI, etc. Brakes in a few weeks after my under-car work is...
Thanks - exactly what I decided to do. Re-wire is 80% done, Terminator is next with planning in parallel) like the fuel pump and Dakota dash.
Good thought.
Great info - thanks. I hadn't decided on fuel pump wiring, but powering by the ECU makes good sense. I ran new 14 gauge positive and ground from...
In full swing. Using the AAW Highway 22 kit and it's so nice to have different colors and labels for everything! About 80% there. Spent a bunch...
Ok - nearing ready to start re-wire. This won't be a clean rip with existing wiring in tact.. but have all my circuits mostly identified and...
I may need to do that. I read also about taking off the calipers to get them lower than the MC to help bleed.
A new distributor may be part of phase two (sequential fire, coil per plug, etc). But I've been told by Holley is that all I need is their HEI GM...
Yes - the calipers are on the back of the spindles. The front end is a Fatman coil-over from about 2004 with a MII manual rack. I'd asked them...
Yes - exactly what I have planned using the Holley Terminator kit. Lots of talk with them. No major changes - even plugs in to the current...
The basic Ramjet itself is fine, but the MEFI3 ECU is not tunable without sending out ($) and they can only do a few things. It's an open loop...
Thanks all. I'm leaning towards the rewire first - keep engine bay work for next project. I won't continue on any EFI topics here (didn't realize).
Looking for input/advice here. I am planning my two major winter projects and trying to decide on install order... Project car: 1940 Ford Tudor...
Thank you! I did find my 2psi residual valve for the front brakes hidden, but present. So all looks good there. On to the basics.
Thanks for both comments. I know more about the MC than I did before! I'm assuming a 1" bore, but will assess that if needed once I check/test...
Thanks for that - I do need to go back to basics. I'm assuming the whole system worked (was engineered correctly) in 2004, but that's a lot of...
Thanks. I will do that. I meant to mention also that the car sat largely un-used for about 5 years. Apparently drive only 2-3 time a year....
So looks like that is a metering valve up front. From the web: Allows the rear brakes a chance to start to engage before the front brakes do...
The rear is a 1968 9" Ford with drum brakes. I will check on the front brass block in the morning, but believe all three are 1/8". Appreciate...
It looks like ECI is it - thank you. Looks like this is 1/8" in and 1/2" out per ECI manual. I have not found a 2 psi valve in the front...
I have a new to me 1940 Ford Tudor hat was hot-rodded about 2004. It has an under floorboard master, disc front and drum rear - on a Fatman front...
