From my experience you should listen to Edelbrock about the wiring, especially about grounds where you can get ground loop gremlins working. You know now that MarkH is their guru for the E-Street...

Bob,
I think what you're saying is that you're going to work with Edelbrock (now that you have the right point of contact and he's back in the saddle this week); and that your ignition is now a new... -

Bob,
JL350's advice is good on every point, very thorough and informative with a logical, systematic approach. One thing that he mentions in point 3, On my SBF balancer there are three or four... -

Bob,
I just re-read your thread. You mentioned up in post #14 that your AFR is reading 20.94 and 17.92 at different throttle positions. Ideal is 14.7 air to fuel, so your numbers are getting into... -

Hey Bob, I checked with Jeff at Edelbrock and he tells me that the FPR on the E-Street is mechanical, no vacuum connection so that idea is a bust! Sorry, thought it might be easy, but no joy....

Bob,
If the plugs are fowling in six to ten miles, what is your coolant temperature at that point? I'm asking because on initial startup your fuel map is biased by a cold start curve which mimics... -

Now that's a great idea if it's something that works for Bob. It may be fouling the plugs before it can "learn" the baseline. Bob, call Jeff Robbins at Edelbrock, and see what he says about this...

Welcome to CHR!!
I looked through the instructions for the Edelbrock E Street system and it requires 50-60psi on the fuel feed, so that means you had to have installed their fuel supply system if...
