That was a whole lot of fun John. You had all the hard work done with the layout and fixtures, all I had to do was make holes.
Can't wait to do the blower manifold project.

| Post subject: | 68 Barracuda Fuel Injection |
The idea of electronic Fuel Injection intrigued me, thinking that it would be cool to tune a car with a laptop, so this is my go at it,, be assured that I have been in contact with: Dart 270 Greg O Slantzilla and Sam P for the hard ware, * Clifford intake with cast in FI-NOS port arm bosses * GM Vortec Ported Throttle Body - E Bay purchased * 6 AN rails and tooling from Ross Machine Racing * Bosch-Ford Blue Top injectors - E Bay Purchased I built a fixture for the manifold and rail that would adapt to a Bridgeport that Slantzilla had access to.. with the Clifford intake mounted to the engine, the cast bosses set at a 40 degree angle. I used a section of 90 degree angle iron with the 'legs' at different lengths to result in 50 and 40 degree angles, with the manifold bolted to the 50 degree leg, the resultant angle of the cast injector boss was 90,,meaning that it is horizontal with respect to the intersecting tooling. Results in a straight manufactured hole. https://www.flickr.com/photos/13718356@ ... 4186518615 the machining was completed today, again, thanks to SZ for access to a sturdy Bridgeport. https://www.flickr.com/photos/13718356@ ... 3472666129 and here is a video of the intake machining,, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaNU72FSRkk and this is where we are as of today here are two shots of the intake with throttle body and rail mounted on the engine,, the orange top injectors are pull a part pieces being used a set up parts. https://www.flickr.com/photos/13718356@ ... 4114247266 'the woods are cold, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep' have far to go, but this is a start, with much of the progress due to the support of persons from the Slant Six Forum |

Hay! not to change the subject but I want to know more about how you hooked up that electric water pump. Do you got and specs. for a motor with the power steering pump where your alt is? |

That is a universal Moroso waterpump drive kit I believe. I used the same one on my red car. Not really a street use piece.

Looks like a great start, John. Love the work and the documentation. Slant on, Lou |

Looking awesome! I might have to track down a couple Clifford intakes with the injector bungs. It looks like that simplifies this a bunch. How are you planning on securing the injector rail to the motor? |

I am using AN o ring fittings on the fuel rail ends, the other option was to use NPT threads. NPT would could work just as well, but to keep things interesting,,decided to go with AN o rings as that is the typical sandard for fuel fittings... Dennis had access to a Bridgeport for machining in the injector fittings, however the Bridgeport did not have a head-table that would accommodate machining the ends of a two foot long fuel rail. I had tooling that would machine in an 6 AN o ring crevice that would be concentric to the minor thread diameter, I modified my el cheapo Harbor Freight drill press to accept a 24 inch plus length fuel rail. Did that by cutting a part acceptance hole in the steady rest and drill press base and then mounting the drill press so the base acceptance hole overhung my work bench. The drill press, in its modified state was leveled and firmly attached to the work bench. here is a video of the machining in progress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rIuIXFp9mU and here are photos of the modified drill press and mount. I set it up so the rail tube end was level to the steady rest and the steady rest was level to the drill press base, assuming that the mfg had got the spindle true to the base.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/13718356@ ... 4124005701 tomorrow I'll work on bending and flairing tubing to connect the fuel system. and the SC stuff, if everything stays on course, that is next year

Progress https://www.flickr.com/photos/13718356@ ... ed-public/ 1. deburred the fuel rail connections 2. cleaned up the injector to Clifford manifold interface 3. routed the return line and mounted the regulator |

Slightly shorter fuel rail and installation of the fuel regulator NOT over the engine could be helpful for later service procedures. |
