Well I got the fuel tank back up,took it for a ride around the subdivision yesterday,everything seems good,I do have one brake fitting that weeps at distribution block that I can't seem to get it to stop!!doesnt seem to effect braking!want to drive it around subdivision a lot to really test out make sure no failures before it goes on the street!


Little update on the Holley efi,the car is idling little rough,goes between 400rpm and 1000rpm!i have only started car on jack stands and put put around the subdivision,I called Holley today to get there opinion if I had anything wrong,they told me I need to drive the car a good 50 miles with self learn for all of those issues to correct them self!so looks like I need to just drive!


Baby coming on may 7th!!!yeah it was correct flare,I'm going to drive it a little bit and se what it does, if it continues then I will have to change the line!i checked it today before I left for work and don't see anything so I'm not sure yet!

Holley efi is awesome!!im so glad I went with this system,my car seems to run better and car feels faster than what I had before!!if my car was a stock motor it would have been plug and play,but since I had a cam and ported heads the idle area needed some adjustments to get it to idle properly!!im a total noob to tuning,and am pretty lost!lots to learn!!with some help from sound engineer (really knows his holley efi)here on the forum and some stuff I tried from advice from Holley techs,the car idles best it ever has!!I had to make little changes like adjusting idle rpm and added couple degree of timing to idle area!also had to adjust my IAC via throttle body screw!other than that it was all Holley efi self learn!!if I can do it anyone can!!with me adding the kenne bell this fall and possible wanting to try different pulleys ,the self learn of the fuel table was a must!!!im very happy with the result of this system!!


Tony she is great!!!here are few pics!!been enjoying her and the car!!
