Era fia fast efi 8 stack project...

IN CLOSING...
I debated for some time the decision between going to Webers or the 8 stack injection. The price of the new Webers and manifold would have been about the same, maybe a few hundred less than what I paid for the EFI system and I’m sure installation would have been less than 8 hours for the Webers. I probably spent 50 or 60 hours putting in the EFI system with all the issues I had to overcome. And as much as I want the car to have a high level of authenticity, I think it was a good choice and a fun learning experience without a huge compromise in its authentic appearance. The car will never appear as an original to those that really know, but for those that don’t, I feel it gives a good impression. Like every owner of a Cobra, I’m frequently asked if my Cobra is real. My reply is always the same…”It’s real enough.”

Very nice work and I liked the way you provided the ups and downs of the installation. It looks nice. Depending on the lobe separation on your cam, you may have had to change the cam too if you went to Webers. I was looking at Jim Ingleses' website thinking about maybe down the road changing to Webers and you cannot run them well with lobe separation below 110 degrees, so in my case I would need to change out the cam.

Have fun with it and when you take it to the track take some video!

Similar to the Webers, the cam can give you issues with the fuel injection as well… Especially the self learning systems. They recommend at least 10 pounds of vacuum at idle. A simple vacuum test will give the answer of whether or not the current cam will work well with the system. Mine was right at 10 pounds so it gave me the confidence to go ahead with the conversion without changing the cam. I'm not sure that my cam would perform well with Webers though.
