OK I want to learn more about fuel injection, can someone recommend an EFI book? I was going to have a local shop do the whole thing for me but now I think I want to give it a shot myself and if I fail then off to the shop I go. Thanks in advance.

8) charles probst and sae engineer wrote two volumes titled
understanding, tuning, and modifying ford electronic fuel injection(as i recall, i will check the titles to be sure).
the first volume covered all ford efi systems from 1980-1986, the second covered from 1987-1993.
 
thanks for the lead RB! I googled the name and did a search in Amazon too. then I just followed the EFI trail.

cheers

modifying efi in my 93!!!! :shock: I need to richen up the mixture do these books provide the answer!! :P Perhaps i have found the holy grail :twisted:
 
Also, from Motorbooks International, "Fuel Injection Installation, Performance Tuning, Modifications" by Jeff Hartman. Dunno if it's still in print, but the second chapter alone is worth the price of admission. Strips the whole thing down to the basics from the standpoint of "air, fuel, spark" rather than "this is how it's different from a carb." He "builds" a theoretical EFI unit, then adds and takes away features until he has a carburetor. "Oh, no! We just invented the carburetor! But does it suck or does it blow? It is, in fact, the higher pressure of the earth's atmosphere that forces fuel out of the float chamber and into the low-pressure area of the venturi. So I guess we can conclusively say that the carb blows."

Great stuff! There's also a load of example installations at the end of the book, including a turbo efi, a system scavenged from another car, and an aftermarket system.
