As of now no I am not going to let the FiTech control it. But I am goin to try both ways and see which way I like the best. But it is a kick ass feature. That I will try. No other efi system offers this. Which is a great feature.

[RodsGreen10]

You know what I am just going to wire it so the FiTech controls it all hell nothing to change a wire around.

Just seems like a great feature. Easy as hell to make timing changes instead of removing the cap and switching some springs and weights although once it is dialed in you wouldn't likely touch it again.

I agree.

What all do you need to let it control timing? I'm very interested in their kit.

[RodsGreen10]

Ok just got home and looked. I do not have the violet and green wire that you have to connect to the dizzy for timing control. Hmmm. Calling FiTech now. If not no big deal my **** is dialed in.

The FiTech EFI and a dizzy lol. That's about it and make your connections.

[tjsblazer]

Any 2 wire distribuer, separate box or not. It won't work with HEI or ready to run style.

[RodsGreen10]

Brain fart lol. It is on the back already wired with a 2 pin connector setup.

Thanks. I guess it's got a knock sensor built in?

No uses o2 pulse

Also with timing control you must have the tach wire connected. And you can not splice or tap the tach wire for the FiTech. It must have its own tach signal. This is what I was told. But if you look at the wiring diagram it does not show this.

It will work with HEI.

Interesting. Where do you connect your tach then? Maybe this is a dumb question. I just woke up from night shift

I didn't realize it worked with a ready to run style. Ive just been looking over FITech wiring diagrams.

[tjsblazer]

I know the FItech will work with any distributer style in Fuel only mode but you can't control timing with an HEI or ready to run style can you? Maybe I'm ready the wiring diagrams wrong. I haven't checked with their tech support.

Samething I thought.
Here is the link to the instructions. Anyone want to look at them and feel free to post here about it. I want others opinions and views.

Ok spoke with the mechanic at FiTech. He said it will not work with a big cap HEI. And you can tap the tach wire.

[RodsGreen10]

Also the mechanic told me I need a relay for my fuel pump. I told him I am happy he told me that cause the directions did not say anything about that. So another hold up. I am ordering a fuel pump relay kit.

[RodsGreen10]

Well I got my an fitting on my fuel pump. God I hope they don't leak.

Wow, you will be driving by this week end!

I better be lol.

[RodsGreen10]

This is the fuel pump relay kit I bought. And it has the same braided wire loom lol. It will all match up nicely.

I forgot I told the FiTech mechanic sorry I can't remember his name about the drop base and the an fitting he said yeah had the same issue. He said change base or angle them to the middle. Yep figured that out myself lol. Nice guy. I can not wait to get this thing running driving me crazy waitin on parts.

[tjsblazer]

Thanks for the great info and documentation through this install. Since they have only be shipping since the Spring the experiences you are providing are invaluable. Unless something turns in to a show stopper for you, I think Santa is bringing me one for my fresh 383.
