I see your getting all hi-tech on us now, lol!!! Looks great and I hope you report back it really was that simple. What a great deal in the end! Glad to hear the brakes are complete, next is the tune, then the baby, then the super charger, and then the springs!!!

bmf5150

I may do springs here next,as long as no brake issues and car runs good on start up with self learn!!!all I did with Holley software was install ls1 tune,change settings to my injector size,my tire size and my rear end gear!also had to select which wide band O2 sensor!other than that I turn on self learn for fuel tables!software seems so simple!i will find out here next few days when I start it!!

bmf5150

Woohoo,she started!idle very rough at first but more I let her idle seem to get a lot better!the self learn fuel tables must be working!!i did notice with car running one of my brake lines going from master cylinder to distribution block is leaking!

MisterD

Great news! Glad you got her fired up! I'm waiting for that day, hopefully this summer/fall. I am also interested in hearing more about that Holley EFI setup. Videos please:-)

Well I replaced the line to my master cylinder from the distribution block and my leak went away!!i ended up pulling my gas tank for two reasons,the pump that came with my ricks hot rod tank was not big enough for the hp my motor was putting out !second my sending unit never worked correctly!so I ordered a Aero motive 11140 pump,they claim it's good for 900 hp natural aspire or 700 hp with boost!!i also talk to ricks about the sending unit,they said they have lots of problems with them with the float arms!they told me to contact ISSpro and they could custom make me one that works great!so I called them and they new exactly what I needed,should be here by the weekend!!!

Man you better be glad you dont live near me or I would have to take all your goodies!!
Sorry to hear that your sending unit is acting up. Dont feel alone, I pulled my tank Saturday and found what I thought was my problem with the Ford sender only to find out I did nothing to fix my issue.
That Aeromotive pump ought to do the trick for the s/c.
Hows the Holley setup working out?

bmf5150

Yeah my sender never worked the day I put it in!so far Holley seems good but I have only started the car and let it idle on jack stands!i hope by weekend to get it done to take it for a ride,test out new brakes and let the auto learn ,learn its fuel table as I drive!

Have you checked the ohms of the sender as it travels up and down? If your using the stock fuel level gauge it should read 0 ohms when empty and 90 when full. I checked my old one and it was almost perfect 0-90.

That Holley setup is awesome! As long as it doesn't keep everything too conservative, I will definately put it on my future upgrade list. To be able to change the intake, throttle body, or whatever and not have to leave my car for 3 days somewhere and drive 6 hours for two round trips just to get a tune would be well worth it.

bmf5150

No I have not checked the old sending unit out yet!but I will out of curiosity!went to put wheels on last night and realized I need spacer for the front wheels do it won't hit calipers,also need longer studs in my rear axle!always something huh!!oh well!

tsnow678

Your right about "always something"!!!
How much is hitting? Can you grind down the caliper where it makes contact or is too large of a contact patch to do anything with?

Did you change your pump in the kitchen? Nice pump. And your stainless appliances and weedwacker ain't too bad either.

bmf5150

Tony,nah I'm just going use a 1/4 wheel shim!

bmf5150

Future,lol!dont tell my wife ok!!!

bmf5150

Much better clearance with the spacer!!i did not measure but I would say around .200 of clearance!i think that should be fine!what ya think tony?

Your good! Only concern would be any wheel weights. That is if you use the stick on ones and static balance.

bmf5150

Well I got the fuel tank back up,took it for a ride around the subdivision yesterday,everything seems good,I do have one brake fitting that weeps at distribution block that I can't seem to get it to stop!!doesnt seem to effect braking!want to drive it around subdivision a lot to really test out make sure no failures before it goes on the street!

bmf5150

Little update on the Holley efi,the car is idling little rough,goes between 400rpm and 1000rpm!i have only started car on jack stands and put put around the subdivision,I called Holley today to get there opinion if I had anything wrong,they told me I need to drive the car a good 50 miles with self learn for all of those issues to correct them self!so looks like I need to just drive!

I second that!!!
Do you have the correct flare on the line that is leaking? After all of my brake line changes I performed last year the only thing that leaks is the CPP master at the lid. My main corcern with brake fluid leaking anywhere is what it does to painted surfaces oh and the lack of the ability to stop. Glad to here she is on her feet and rolling!!! You had that baby yet?
