Preparing for the big install

I have to admit, I am a bit nervous.

I am preparing to install the EFI systems but upon reading feedback from other people and researching online I have decided to get a few extra bits in order to avoid potential issues.

The first thing is I bought a replacement fuel tank that has an in-tank fuel pump. This is an attempt to avoid having problems with an external pump that has to be mounted lower that the fuel tank. Well the fuel tank on the Chev is pretty low at the back there and I didn't want to scrape the pump on the kerb every time I backed out onto the street. Since the fuel sender unit died in the old tank buying a new one worked out. Besides, a new tank has the needed baffling and stuff in it the stop fuel slopping around, which the old tank does not have.

Anyway the shiny new tank showed up last Friday.

OK, so to install this baby I need to also install the EFI Kit I bought over a year ago. "About time!", I hear you say, and you are right. It should be easy, all the promo material says so.

Should be nothing to it, right? Well, there are some reviews saying that the EFI system can be picky when sensing when the distributor is firing using the distributor ground wire through the supplied analogue to digital converter thingy. The geniuses on the FAST forum all agree that the problem goes away if you install an MSD Capacitor discharge ignition system like the MSD 6A:

Yup. Got that too. Further reading revealed that if you install one of these babies into your HEI distributor-ed 350 Chev engines, which Baby has, you really should upgrade to a high energy coil:

I hope this is end of the ignition system stuff. I have had to buy about 10m of high pressure fuel hose and the fittings to go with it to take the fuel from the tank to the engine. It has to be all pretty so there are bits and pieces that go with it, of course:

Things get out of hands pretty quick around cars, eh? I hope I have enough to install everything now. And.... I hope it all works. ;)
