1968 Charger - Swapped to EFI. For this one I used the Edelbrock EZ-Street TBI system which I like a little better than the Holley Sniper. I did use a Holley retro fit in-tank EFI fuel pump.

Edelbrock advertises these as "Self learning, no laptop required" which are both true statements but a bit misleading to most do-it-yourselfers. If you can't tune a carburetor then you likely are not going to be able to tune a Holley, Edelbrock FiTech ect EFI conversion system. They all "learn" but if the base setup is not correct everything it learns is garbage.

On this car I spent a number or hours tuning HOT and COLD startup as well as idle/IAC parameters using the Edelbrock app on my phone. See....no laptop required.
Don't get me wrong...EFI is great but its not a magic pill.

If you are interested in EFI or already have EFI that isn't working to your expectations give me a call.

Simple vintage 4x4s are refreshing in a world that seems to be dominated by over-built modern rigs adorned with all of the latest gear and gadgets.

1968 Camaro - complete rewire using American Autowire Classic Update kit.

Found a fuse wrapped in foil and a number of melted wires, bad grounds and way too many cheap blue butt splice connectors.

Since the seats and carpet out we also installed a triple layer sound deadening material.

72 Monty wiring job done. Added a complete new dash and RTX gauge package. The wood overlay is not reproduced by any of the restoration parts companies so we had to sandblast, prime and wrap this one with a 3M automotive vinyl.

1969 Chevelle....Trunk floor out. Wisconsin sure wasn't nice to this car.

All factory wiring out along with the dash. Going in with Classic Update kit, new SS dash and RTX gauges.
I found a few melted wires in the dash that could have easily led to a fire.
