FYI, the latest copy of Practical Classics has an article on putting EFI AND
DIS on an "A" engine!  It is in two parts and the current issue (January
2008) has part one.

 

Part two has the fuel system, circuitry and components.  I am looking
forward to seeing what they used for a throttle body and injector(s).

I've come a long way with the EFI tuning.  The wideband O2 

sensor allows the Autotune function to dial in the car pretty fast.

The timing table is set up as well as a table of target

air/fuel ratios.  This allows me to operate at, say, 12;1 AFR and

22deg. BTDC when at 10lbs boost, and 16;1 AFR at 49deg. BTDC when 

cruising.

The plugs look great and each morning's cold start is better dialed

in than the day before. The motor is running so well that I've had

to cover half the radiator to get up to the 160deg needed to trigger 

Autotune.  Well, part good tune and part bloody cold weather!!!

 

I finished a new center console to hold two speakers, fuel pressure 

gauge, AFR gauge and power tap for the GPS and/or G-tech.

 

I mounted the old fiberglass hardtop and cleaned it up.  It sure

makes these winter tuning rides more bearable.

 

I posted shots of the new console and hardtop on my homepage:

This is one hell of an education on engine management and its turning

out to be really fun.
