PSA: Fusick needs our support!

Hey guys, I just spoke with someone at Fusick asking about the new Fuel Tanks and it turns out they have a lot of capital tied up in the tanks as no one is buying them. The nature of this business is very difficult for those we ask to support our limited run cars, so we really need to come through a...

Re: Multipoint EFI for my 1969 Restomod.

It is the same as the Mondello and was designed by Gary Roberts. At this time it is available from Mondello and Applied GMC (Link below).

Price has pretty much doubled.

Re: Multipoint EFI for my 1969 Restomod.

OK, that makes a lot more sense. I just paid my estimated tax bill, been looking at that for some time and it turns out I have that horrible problem of having made a bit more last year than I expected to. Once all that is sorted out and I have a solid grasp of my revenue I will hopefully be able to ...

Re: Multipoint EFI for my 1969 Restomod.

Be that as it may, I really would rather be in trouble than have to put a new engine in the Wagon... it came at an absolutely horrible time when I have the cash but cannot allocate it due to being in the process of taking a business from part time to full time and not quite being there yet... Hoping...

Re: Multipoint EFI for my 1969 Restomod.

Yep... sometime last year I had the unfortunate luck to have the bearing for a Timing Chain Idler Gear grenade in my Cadillac CTS Wagon so that put the kibosh on my budget. I need to mill the holes in the Toronado Intake so I can weld the bungs in, and now I have to address the Cadillac first. Befor...

Re: Multipoint EFI for my 1969 Restomod.

I fully expect it to work quite well as it will eliminate the wet intake manifold that is the major cause of most of my issues. Once I get the holes milled, the rest should be pretty straightforward. I bought a TIG welder and have practiced and will practice more until I can get good welds of the bu...

Re: Multipoint EFI for my 1969 Restomod.

I first used an Atomic EFI from MSD. It worked well for the most part but was difficult in warm starts and in parking lots. I then switched to the Holley Sniper EFI, and that worked better in parking lots but eventually ran into fuel pooling issues that I did not like, among other things. I am wonde...

Re: Multipoint EFI for my 1969 Restomod.

I think I went with a pair of Flex-a-Lite 3,000 CFM units, but I cannot recall as it has been about 7 years now. I would go with the highest CFM you can get in a 16" fan that allow 2 to be installed side by side.

Re: Multipoint EFI for my 1969 Restomod.

I found that I needed dual electric fans with a shroud - I custom made one from Aluminum - and it works great. I upgraded my Alternator a long time ago to a modern unit with 140 Amps. You nailed the issue, I had overheating issues until I got the shroud set up and more powerful fans. Turns out it re...

Re: Multipoint EFI for my 1969 Restomod.

I see around 18 mpg if I drive sanely. Wondering if this new setup will get me a bit more.
I find it ironic that my AWD Cadillac CTS Wagon gets about 17 mpg... of course, the AWD and mass are major factors, it allegedly weighs about the same, so is far more dense.
