EFI - best system?

I'm in the process of getting my engine rebuilt and was thinking of converting to EFI. For the folks that currently have EFI, what system do you have and would you change it or do other upgrades at the same time, like distributor?

Re: Aftermarket wheels for early Toronados

I was simply trying to be helpful by posting the link, so someone more versed in wheel specs could follow up and ask the appropriate question(s). I won't be following up with the seller.

Re: Aftermarket wheels for early Toronados

Here is an interesting toro with aftermarket wheels. Car is listed for trade, didn't contact the saler/trader for wheel details. Says they are Boyd Coddington.

1966 Toro Engine trouble

My car had been dieseling when the engine was turned off. I replaced the spark plugs and wires trying to fix the issue. The car seemed to run better, but still dieseled when turned off and one particular time, it knocked pretty long and loud. After that, the engine has a tick when idling and makes a...

Re: '66/'67 Choke "Stove Coil"

Roy,

Can you pass the info for the individual parting out the '66? I need to see if he has the carb and carb linkage rod. I've determined that my '66 has the incorrect carb along with the missing carb linkage rod.

Thanks
steven

Re: 1966 Toro Carburetor Help

Thanks for the information, yeah, I researched the carburetor number and it looks like it was for a 330 engine. With that said, will that have a negative impact on performance? If I want to replace the entire carburetor with a modern carb, what would be a good recommendation?

Re: 1966 Toro Carburetor Help

Thanks, hope it's not hard to find a replacement. Any idea about the spring running to the engine block?
