Default Re: Let's start a junkyard fuel injection discussion

Many have tried and a few have succeeded in making a mechanical fuel injection work on the street with no flat spots. When it works, the throttle reaponse is like nothing you have ever driven.
I have done 2 flatheads, one 296 with an original flat base Hilborn right out of the box and the other using an adapted 2.5 inch BBC unit on a 352 ci engine.
On both I had to make new barrel valve shafts with curves I arrived at by cut and try.
I am all for electronic injection but just sayin' the old stuff can be made to work also.
Costwise probably about the same with used parts.
