 Pressure and return fuel lines...  Pressure and return fuel lines were routed and installed. Fuel injection typically operates at around 40 psi, so high-pressure lines are mandatory.  A fuel-pressure gauge was...  A fuel-pressure gauge was mounted under the dash, and the electric sending unit was mounted in one fuel rail.  Clearance for the upper radiator...  Clearance for the upper radiator hose was tight, but there was room for a factory hose and thermostat housing.  Since the fuel-injection computer...  Since the fuel-injection computer monitors the air/fuel ratio of the exhaust, oxygen sensors need to be installed in either the header collector or in the exhaust pipe just aft of the exhaust manifold.  Since the distributor was...  Since the distributor was removed to install the intake, it had to be reinstalled and wired.  With everything hooked up,...  With everything hooked up, the fuel system was pressurized to check for leaks by turning the ignition to the accessory position. If no leaks are found, the procedure for adjusting the throttle position sensor can be accomplished.  Using an inexpensive laptop...  Using an inexpensive laptop computer, the EFI instructions walk you through the setup. After setting and adjusting the TPS, the laptop can also be used to change ignition timing curves.  To utilize an original or...  To utilize an original or reproduction Six-Pack air cleaner with this system, F&B provides three billet adaptors and gaskets with their kit.  Since this Barracuda has air...  Since this Barracuda has air conditioning, the air-cleaner base had to be notched for clearance. This won't affect the seal of the air cleaner at all and won't be noticeable once the air cleaner is installed.  With the fuel-injection system...  With the fuel-injection system tested and buttoned up, it was time to turn the key. As long as everything is connected properly, the car should fire up. Additional tuning is then required with the car running.  The result was a nice driving,...  The result was a nice driving, powerful combination with the cool look of Six-Pack induction.  A chassis dyno would be ideal...  A chassis dyno would be ideal for tuning the system, but as Bruce shows, tuning can also be accomplished by driving the car around and making changes on the laptop. With a few slow laps around the neighborhood, the system was tuned for proper air/fuel ratios at all rpm, and throttle flat-spots were eliminated.
