Fuel injection for the slant six

I'm still a ways off from getting it installed (the guy at Fox Engineering ran onto some hard times and never sent me the controller that I paid him for as part of the package - stopped even responding with sob stories after 2 years of me ask, "Hey, how's it coming along?" - it's on his 'customer photos' page, and he took it to some shows before he shipped it to me...thanks for 2/3 of what I paid for, Fran...and 3 years wait to get that part)

Nice setup, sorry about your supplier issues. Did you get your Redline intake from Redline direct or off ebay? I have a Clifford, but the linkage is goofy, wondering if I should upgrade to the Redline or just fight the linkage.

Since this thread was last active, a small shop showed our forum photos of a planned custom slant aluminum intake w/ MPFI ports perhaps a year ago. I recall it had a cylindrical plenum w/ welded-on tubes to each cylinder. Appeared expensive to manufacture and don't know if they took it further than one prototype. You'll have to search for the thread.

Wasn't Pishta making these? I thought I remember him doing a pretty good job of this.

Was a one off. Could make another I suppose. Plans would be easier to send as assembly is not that hard. Good welding a plus but bird **** and a grinder will do, with a little 2 part epoxy to smooth the seams....Big deal was the injector location, ideal if you ask me and can use any intake manifold, just use your favorite TB. I used a Ford V6 Mustang/Windstar off a 4.3?

I sure wish I had your talent with just building stuff out of the blue like that. I'm just a clusterf#$k. One question though, and I seem to remember you said why elsewhere, but why did you put the injector in the head instead of the intake? Closer to the chamber?

Very Impressive! i would be curious of performance. being the difference with injectors in the head.
assume easy start? etc..

and you may be thinking of Gill Welding and Fabrication. They did put together an interesting manifold for the Slant
https://www.gillwelding.com/shop

a finished fuel rail for $67.00 is a good price
 
My car still has the original style single-chamber master cylinder. It seems to work just fine. My neighbor was looking at the car the other day and stated that he thought I should upgrade to a dual-chamber for safety reasons. In opinions?

I see you're new here but this is a thread about fuel injection. There is a separate section for brakes.

If you actually drive your car then YES you should convert to a dual system. ANY leak anywhere in your brakes (lines, MC, wheel cylinders, etc.) and you have NO brakes except parking brake. And you're in the rust belt.

Before I even drove my 64 out of the driveway I converted to dual using a new MC from a 1967 A-body. 8000 miles later and my front end is still intact.
 
I have an Offenhauser 2 x 1 intake. A GM 4 cylinder TBI unit has the same base size. I think 2 TBI units could be used on this manifold. How was the fuel distribution of this manifold with carbs? I've not heard many good things about performance other than that the Offenhauser 2 x 1 looks good.

This is just a swag, as I have never ran the Offy 2x1 intake,
But I would think that the 2x1 would act like a dual plane intake, have better vacuum response due to less valve overlap at each carb opening.
While the standard single carb opening slant intake would act more like a single plane intake, because it is.
Again, I would bet that 99% of it is in the tune with either setup.
 
According to those in the know about Using triple Weber DCOE carbs, once the carbs are adjusted (which involves several different fuel circuits), they are as reliable as fuel injection. I’ve got a set of matching Italian Weber’s (not the Spanish junk) and an Aussie intake, so I would like to try and get them set up and use on a slant at some point.
