Re: jtsBronc EFI Installatioon
...more reliable? Lol! If my EFI rig wasn't at the tuners I would swing by.
But it sounds really fun!

Re: jtsBronc EFI Installatioon
Are you working late? I get off at 6pm those days and will come by if everyone is still working.

Re: jtsBronc EFI Installatioon
We will probably work until the sun goes down or Justin's wife throws us out. ;-)

Re: jtsBronc EFI Installatioon
I promise to fire up the smoker and feed all who show up, will also have cold beverages. Expect pulled pork on Saturday and beef brisket on Sunday. I'm sure I will be working late, so come and go as you see fit.
Big Thanks to Mike for getting this going and thanks in advance to all who are willing to help with this project.

Re: jtsBronc EFI Installatioon
Wish I could make it up. I've been collecting parts for the conversion (still missing the computer but think I have most of the rest) and would love to see one go in before tearing into mine. Can't make it this weekend though. Good luck on the install and please share any little nuggets of wisdom you gain while working through it.

Re: jtsbronc EFI Installation
OK guys, I have plenty of grub and a poor neglected dog that needs some attention. Between Mike, Dozer and I, we have some eating to do.

Re: jtsbronc EFI Installation
Just a quick update:
Yesterday (6/28/14) We had jre74 and Moneypit stop by to help with dis-assembly and then begin putting it back together. We pulled the exhaust to weld the O2 bungs in, pulled the old carb and intake and distributor. Justin and his wife Rachel laid out a nice spread of pulled pork sandwiches with all the trimmings.
Today, Hockeydad4-22, JGZ and EFI Guy Stopped by and continued to install the EFI parts. Garry worked his magic on the harness and computer. The O2 bungs were welded in place and the headers re-installed. Fuels lines are starting to come together and we even found the correct cast iron gear locally to put on the distributor. Overall things are coming together! We ate like kings again today with smoked brisket! We are taking next week off for the holiday then getting back on it the following weekend. Come on by if you can.

After the only hiccup being the wrong lower intake manifold gaskets, it fired on the first try! http://youtu.be/-chRZSKaMWA
