Has anyone heard of this company or used hteir parts?

I really like the idea of a computer controlled engine. I doubt it will give any more HP, but I'm sure it will drive better and get better gas milage. I drive the car 5 days a week so milage matters!

Will something like this fit under the '68 BB hood? The manifold is tall, but the throttle body is short. Are there any FI manifolds that are short enough?

It's about $3600 for the kit. It would be nice if I could hide the coils in the ignition shield box :)

thanks,

None of the port EFI setups fit under the hood. If you had to get it under the hood you could use a torker II and put a TBI unit on top, but that is probably iffy clearance wise also. Good excuse to get an L-88 hood....

I haven't heard much about the electromotive EFI. I know it is way expensive... I've heard that the ignition piece is pretty but doesn't work well. No first hand experience, though. If you want EFI on a more reaosnable budget, look into the Accell GEN7, Holley commmander 950 and Edelbrock pro-flo. Much less than electromotive and larger installed base.

The Edelbrock has you convert your old distributor (add extra signal pickup). The Holley system uses a standard GM 7 or 8 pin HEI.
