There is also another that reads off the PC itself. Both are discribed at the gn ttype home page. The 148 ya got is the 165 set-up, the archives are full os stuff related to that.

It's much better running than tbi, esp. at idle. But a lot of that may be in the cam, as I took a 96 engine and installed it in a carby app with much success.

I am pretty sure the 1996-1999 system was sequential. The 1995 454 EFI was a throttle body injection system. Hope this helps, Jason >Does anyone know about the vortec injection on 95 454 chevys?

I was talking with the guy that wrote HEXWORKS the other day and he asked if I new of any improvements that could be made to the program. If you have specific improvements, changes or additions you would like to see to the program - e-mail them to me and I will forward them to him. Please include if it is ok for him to contact you directly if he has questions about your ideas. For those that are not familiar with the program, HEXWORKS is a HEX editor that allows you to edit very large files. BTW - a new version of HEXWORKS should be out soon. They are in BETA testing now.

I am in the process of fabricating a multi Port fuel injection for Full Size Jeeps that are equipped with the AMC 360 or 401 engines. I have been in contact with several efi and dfi vendors,and currently have a metal fabrication discussion going on with one of the design engineers over at Holley. What I was wondering, was a while back on one of the little jeep(cj's and wranglers) websites someone coverted a amc straight 6 to EFI using a system off a chevy astro, the ECM was reprogrammed for him by someone off this list. So I am curious has anyone attempted such a ecm reprog on say a Ponitac ECM out of a 90 an up v8 based Firebird/TA or a 90 and up Camaro or Vette? At the current time I am thinking of using as much as I can from a 94 camaro I found junked, I would like to use the injectors,ecm and as much of harness as possible, based on intake spacing I already know I will need to fab my own fuel rails and mod an existing manifold. Due to the fact that I am on a limited budget been considereing using a stock jeep v8 intake, they are very basic spread bore designs with a single plane underneath. My current thought is to machine out the spread bores,leaving an open faced single plan manifold. For my air valve the Holley engineer suggested using an old quadra jet and removing the venturies, which is what he did on his own custom system. any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome thanks Ned ------------------------------ End of DIY_EFI Digest V4 #596 ***************************** To subscribe to DIY_EFI-Digest, send the command: subscribe diy_efi-digest in the body of a message to "Majordomo@xxx.
