Jerry,you know how genus's work.Wake up in the middle of the night to write down a idea...............I'm not one of them.Just a guy that knows how to spend money on a project like a drunken sailor.
Point well taken about the FP and FPR.I do have both fuel tank pick-ups.This one is unusual because it is out of a 1985 Astro 4.3 which was the only yr that had a carb.
The other one is in the Ole Yellar 1989 van which is a TBI in tank pump.From what I have been studying about EFI's it's not enough for a high pro EFI and will require a external FR and a higher FP.
I am guessing that I would spend a easy $500 for a carb set-up(carb,intake,HEI,and fuel system) that once I was done with it I would sell off.I am that nervous about damaging the 383 during break-in with trying to tune a EFI,that I am thinking it is money well spent.I am not sure,I could be here over cautious about that.
I am also thinking there shouldn't be any towing during break-in,just light driving.Good Bye
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
