Getting the body bolted back on. It looks like a Miata again. Still lots of little things to do yet. But it goes for exhaust next Monday so I’m going to wait until after to get some of those done.

Now if I can figure out why the car keeps running after I shut if off. But only after it warms up. Under 170 degrees it will shut off like normal and start just fine. As many times as I want until it warms up. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe it is trying to run away from that Chevy distributor...LOL!!
But seriously, I would check into the ignition switch and related wiring for high resistance when hot.

Everything is finally figured out and it runs fantastic. Still a few things to do like tach and pull the rear end apart. It’s making some clunking noises. I think there will always be something with this car. Lol
as far as the Chevy distributor, I just got lazy. Lol. It almost bit me in the *** because of the height of it. Full inch taller but it just fits.

Congrats! Yeah, I agree, it's always something. I don't think mine will ever be "done" as I am always thinking of things that I can improve/need to adjust or fix.

very happy with how it turned out. Still needs an altitude adjustment. But has lots of attitude. Lol
the 327 gears are a little too big but still fun. Going to enjoy it while I can this year and fix all the little things in the spring.

What are your overall thoughts on the FiTech? Really considering on going that route, or Sniper, for next year as with the cam I am running, the Ford EFI is a little on the rough side, and there are not many tuners around that will mess with that old ECU.

I like the Fitech. It came with everything you needed and was very easy to install. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the hand held. The connections at the hand held are not very sturdy and you have to unplug them quite often. It works just fine and I’m still playing with it. The Fitech was the cheapest and I got it on sale. It’s all about budget. Lol
really cleans up the engine bay.

Yeah, I’m leaning towards Sniper. I like the idea of the great factory support, and Holley is now selling factory reman’d 600 ho units for $799 with warranty. Not bad if you ask me.

Yep, think it is. They have all 3 color options listed on ebay, direct through Holley. I'm currently running factory 93 Cobra ECU/MAF/24 lb injectors, and it runs pretty rough when cold, not as bad when warm (I'm sure my stage 2 TF cam is a big part of that). Thinking the Sniper and a Stealth manifold would make a great combo, just have to see if it will fit under the hood. Which intake manifold are you running?

Nice build. Would be interested in your thoughts on the Fitech after living with it for a while. I’m thinking of ditching the OEM EFI. I’m near Grand Bend if you happen to ever be this way.

I have about 300 kilometres on the Fitech with no issues with it. I am having an issue with heat and the starter, even though the car runs around 188-196 degrees.
