Jerry, if I was just starting out, your method probably is the least trouble and most effective. But it makes me feel like I would just be replacing everything with new parts, not looking to see how I could "hot rod" what I have. (The young man next door is going to mechanic school and most of what I hear him say is find the bad part and replace. He rarely has a clue to why something is failing or if there is something that can work better.) What little money I have is invested with what I hope was good parts. Can you look at helping me make the best of it? You have the experience of building motors for years, would you share?

Ryan, the FItech units are very nice and similar to many types out there for retrofitting. I was hoping to improve on that type by using port injection. Perhaps my concept of picking what I understand as better methods has backed me into a corner.

Pride: My car is 76 years old this year and yes I currently have a "late model motor"! In fact the motor is only 51 years old. I like to ask new car owners where they think their cars will be in 76 years and will they be running on the road with the brand new year models in 2092.


Come on guys, I am a HOT RODDER thru and thru!!! Give me some help here.
