Classic Fuel Injection

#1 Post by Joe » Wed Dec 14, 2022 7:52 am

Hello,
I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Classic Fuel Injection kits. My main aims would be cleaner more efficient running, less maintenance, better fuel economy and a bit of an increase in power. I have a 77 TC Auto. I live in Australia so postage will add to the cost. So are they worth it or an expensive folly.

No experience with CFI, I run EFI on my TR6 using Jenvey Heritage Throttle Bodies & an Emerald K6 ECU. If I were starting again today I would consider Martin Giles conversion, it looks the part and can be put back to PI use if desired: https://fredmillturnparts.com/tr5-tr6-e ... le-bodies/

I have no financial interest in Martin's company, I am a satisfied customer of his CP TB's however.

Thanks for reply, but mine is a carb model and the kits you mention are for PI. However did it make adifference to your car?

EFI made a huge difference, the car starts like a modern car, even after sitting for weeks. Given your location and postage costs, you could also consider kit from Patton Machine https://www.pattonmachine.com he's been making throttle body conversions for years now with good reviews.
