I have CPS bushings made and hold down clamps. The hold down clamp is designed to clamp over the CPS just like the original distributor was held down. The hold down clamp is made from stainless steel, the bushing aluminum. I did not use any orings because the original distributor uses a paper gasket part# FEL-PRO 6464 and the CPS uses a paper gasket part#FEL-PRO 70051.

Redmist, do you have any idea what the tractor alternator puts out at idle?  Does it keep up with your current EFI and modern electronics well?  I have been planning on ordering one but was curious about output before I pull the trigger.  Thanks, Clark.

Yup,

It has done great honestly. I added two new mid-SPAL fans this winter and they hit the system real hard on startup. I see the gauge drop to 12 volts for a split second and then come right back up to 14 volts.


Zero problems so far!

Just what I wanted to hear!      Did you build custom brackets to mount it?      Thanks a lot!!

Are you selling these?

Yes I am contact me via Personal Message

just got one of MechTech's hold down brackets.  Real nice piece, I am real happy with it.

Question about wiring of the CPS. When looking at the Crankshaft Position Sensor wiring connector, positioned as in the attached picture -Which of the small wire pins is/does what, lets say from Left #1, Middle #2 and Right #3 ?? One I assume is Ground, one Voltage supply (-How much is the the supply voltage?) and the Signal of the camshaft position.. -Correct???



Thanks!!!

The 3 leads are ground, +5V and signal.  I can't help you with which is which, but if you get the pigtail it will have the standard color wires and you can work it out from the wiring diagram.  Are you planning to wire directly to it or use the stock connector?

Gonna use a "stock" pigtail connector. I´m still planing and checking out parts... Gonna go the Holley HP ECU route though...

I find it strange a thread like this, filled with knowledge/information and awesomeness, is just left floating around in the Non-Tech part of the forum...
..so... -WHY is this thread not moved and pinned as a Sticky in ex. the "Performance Corner"?? This thread is probably one of the best/most informative threads ever started in the history of this forum!

I will take this statement and up it to best thread started in the history of many forums...

This might be another solution for the small block and the "B" engine big block guys. Available from the 1st of August apparently. Things are starting to get really interesting. EFI is getting cheaper and cheaper.... closer and closer.... well, I dare to dream....

I now have these for sale for those looking to try this EFI gig.

This unit is a universal system that works with the tanksinc fuel tanks. They are now shipping!

jakefab fuel puck  +   Aeromotive 340 pump      +     Tanksinc tank     =    a very very nice setup for a great price.

Fittings installed, and attached to a Aeromotive Phantom340 PN: 11540





Installed in the Tanksinc Fuel tank

   Awesomeness Ryan! 

And it looks bullet-proof as well ! 

Seriously though, that is really cool.

For those w/ the D585 coils, are you using an off the shelf spark plug wire kit or are you cutting your own?

I cut my own. Bought LS coil ends off of ebay and made them out of my old MSD wires. I did this because I wasnt sure if the precut would be long enough for a 440 vs an actual LS.

[redmist]

I did the same... I later replaced them with a set of LS truck wires and they fit just fine.

 Thanks guys!

Hey everyone. I'd be interested in seeing the current tune that everyone is running. After a year of mostly not working on my car, I've got it running/idling/driving pretty well. Still need to work on initial startup though.

Seeing others .msq file for comparison is very informative along with the type of engine build for those working on the same/similar project. I'm interested in startup settings.

I'll start. My 440 is a stock (and probably tired) 78 unit from a motorhome. Using admittedly slightly undersized 19lb injectors for top end but ok for my use for now. No racing or very hard use just some spirited driving and fun cruising. Looking for smooth running and easy starts like a modern car.

I had to compress the .msq as it was just over the 200KB limit. The file is also a .zip and not a .jpg for the site to take it. Is there a better way to do this on this site?

Thanks

[cbrestorations]

very nice tank adapter redmist, how much is the setup?

[redmist]

It's $120 for the install kit.    https://jakefab.com/collections/all/products/fuelpuck

Lets do some math real fast!


$120 for the fuel puck, plus an Aeromotive pump = $230 + a tanks inc tank gets you a very nice setup for around $500 total.


If you want to go crazy, Holley now sells the hydromat for the 11mm pumps for $150

So for $650ish you can have a tanks inc tank, the jakefab fuel puck, an Aeromotive 340 pump, and the hydromat!




Compare that to the full tank solutions for quality of components vs price, and it's an awesome setup!

If someone wants a ready to go bolt in tank with everything installed, I would entertain doing that as well.

Thanks for the info Ryan, I just put my order in for a fuel puck. Hopefully it won't take too long to get to Perth AU. That hydramat stuff is awesome, I had a look at the Holley site. Off to ebay now to get the pump.
