They will fit. Not any taller than a stock AFB. I already had the enclosure.Bez Auto Alchemy

So far so good, but I have a tuner friend fine tune it on his dyno, and laptop. There are a lot of options to be accessed, and tweaked. I will learn and watch.Bez Auto Alchemy

Hi Brad,
Thanks for posting. I am finding this interesting as over the past two winter trips to Arizona(18 months) I have been involved in the playing with FiTech fuel injection kits on a number of local street rods. I have witnessed some finickiness this year and am not quite so enthused as I once was. It seems a major drawback to the FiTech is it can't be used with a master shut off switch as it loses all it's memory. We did run a separate power wire just to power up the FiTech but some other drive ability issues reared it's head. So far the application which has proven to be the most successful, believe it or not, is a Tri-power set up on 383 small block in a 37 Chev sedan. Power was greatly increased in the mid-range over the original Rochester(?) 2 bbls. I'll post any other progress.
Cheers,
Bill

So I drove my Cobra around with the sniper fuel injection about a hundred miles. Stopped to top off the fuel and it would not start again. Today my Mechanic called and said I needed a new coil. He replaced it and the car runs again. I am hoping to run in an autocross on Sunday.Diesel loving, autocrossing, Coupe express loving, Grandpa Architect.

Yes, the same drawback is there with the Sniper EFI. If you disconnect the battery, you have to go through the entire tuning process again. You would think that Holley or someone else would come up with a PROM chip that could save whatever tune you program, and then remember the tune after you reconnect the battery.

Sounds like the answer to the memory problem would be to provide a small 12 volt gel-cell battery strictly dedicated to keeping the memory alive, and use that feed the "constant 12 volt power" leads for the EFI board, and also the same lead for the radio, to keep its little brain alive, too. Run a diode between the ACC post on the ignition switch and the (+)post on the gel cell so it can be recharged by the alternator when the car is driven. The diode would keep the gel cell from powering up the entire accessory circuit.Most computers have a BIOS battery on the motherboard to keep the BIOS memory alive when the computer is shut down, so it's scarcely a new idea.Gord Richmond, within Weasel range of the Alberta Badlands
