Fitech swap on my 1972 K20

[coopdog]

For know I just vented it to the ground , worked fine , I plan on running it to the vent on the tank.

Went for a quik rip in the old girl , as you can probably see in the pick there is a little snow on the ground but you only live once right!

Nothing squirts out the vent hose but air?

So far yes

[tjsblazer]

Looks like from the fuel routing you mounted the fuel center on the drivers side of the truck. Do you think it could fit on the Rh side behind the battery in the corner. Near where the cannister mounts?

[coopdog]

It would be tight, especially with the battery and all that on that side. I would just mount it on the driver side like I did ,

Good luck

Quick question.
Have you noticed any problems with the fuel command center starving the throttle body when climbing or off roading? Fitech told me that sometimes the fcc will not fill up by the stock pump... He said that the fcc is basicly a larg fuel bowl that works on a float..

Nice truck by the way.

Thanks

[coopdog]

Thanks man, nope I Have not noticed a problem yet, will let u know if I do

Hey coop,
How is the truck running???
I have been waiting on the FCC and carb/throttle body as it is back ordered till 5/6. On my 68 I had to add a vent line at the tank sending unit since 68 had no vent just the vented cap.
Do you mind snapping a few pictures of how you mounted the FCC and how you routed your fuel lines and vent line?
I appreciate it

Looking good man! I cant wait to get my set up. How did you run the high pressure line from the pump to the TB? and is that the controller in the cup holder???

[First c10]

Nice ok cool Thank you

Awesome truck. I am wanting to do this efi swap on my truck also.What performance gains did you get. More power, better throttle response ?.

[Birdman72]

This is a pic of mine at a show.

[coopdog]

Killer truck birdman,
Yes, I do see a huge difference in throttle response and power, the truck truly drives like a new car now , I am very impressed. you literally turn the key and go!

[Birdman72]

Awesome,I have been thinking on the fi tech swap for a while but wasn't sure if was worth the money.I have heard nothing but great reviews!!!:

[First c10]

Well I got another email stating the power command centers is back ordered and will not ship till 5/27. I may have to change my plan for high pressure fuel delivery.

Glad the truck is running good. That is what I want to hear.

[Birdman72]

We'll I placed my fi tech order today and they said they are 6 weeks behind. I sure hope it will be worth the wait!!

[First c10]

Funny I talked to Cody this morning at fitech and he told me depending what I ordered 4-6 weeks from today 4/28. I ordered mine on 3/30. I got an email on 4/27 saying ship date would be 5/27. They puts it at 9 weeks. I hope it's worth the wait also.

[Birdman72]

I got my fi tech delivered today. Now I have to fab up a mounting bracket and get this thing installed.Coop dog is your fi tech still performing well??

All hinges on how you setup your fuel.

If say you could do it for under $1500 somewhat easily pending which route you take
