Self-Tuning Injectors For 1962 390 FE

Post by raylinds »

I just ordered this Speedmaster EFI self-tuning system for my '62 convertible. I wanted to go for a somewhat period correct look. The primary motivation was better mileage and reliability rather than a big increase in power. Plus I love the way they look.

I am also getting the dual sync distributor that goes with the system. I am not sure I am up to the task of installing myself, but would like to try. I will report back.

Nice! I was looking at these as well. Let us know when you get it installed and set up.
What are you going to run for a fuel pump?

I am probably going with the In-tank kit that goes with the FAST system. External pumps need to be placed lower than the lowest point of the fuel tank and are noisy. The in-tank pumps just require drilling a few holes about 1/2" in the top of the tank near the hole for the fuel gauge sending unit.

I will probably be working on this over the next few months and will post updates and pictures of the project.
