Good call nsiti, but I was first doing my due diligence by checking the things they might ask me about…and as it turned out, the Tech really knows his stuff and identified the issue very quickly. It was a faulty MAP Sensor (so I replaced this one with a quality “Made in the USA” one!)…and being out of range prevented the trigger signal to the injectors from being sent, so they weren’t squirting! He’s also going to help me dial-in the system after I get another 50 miles or so on it!

Glad to hear. Did the faulty MAP sensor come with the Pro Flow kit? Are they replacing it under warranty?

Cheers,
Nick

Thanks Nick…I’m relieved the fix was something that was readily available, plus I learned something!

Yes…the AC/Delco was pre installed on the throttle body when I received the kit, but I don’t actually know if it would be under warranty? That’s something I’ll look into after the Tech helps me finish with the “Advanced Tuning”…as he’s not the person that would be making that call (but I’ll gather any intel about it along the way!).

Nick…Did you ever receive your Pro Flo 4 system, or did you cancel that order?

Woody

**HO455** · 11-08-2023, 02:29 PM

Great to hear that tech support actually provided support. Fingers crossed on the warranty side.

Hi, I did receive my Pro Flo 4, not long after you. I recall that it was extremely delayed due to covid. The supply chain was seriously disrupted. My cynical mind wonders whether there will be a greater level of defects for items built during that period.

My restoration build is in the final stages of bodywork, of which I've been posting photos and brief commentary in the build section of this forum. Hopefully the engine and efi installation wil commence in a couple of months.

Keep us updated on your progress!

YES! Thank you. For the life of me I just couldn't find it.

**kev2809** · 06-02-2024, 08:16 PM

no problem!

ya I flip back and forth to kind of guide me, it's a big help

Beach-Burban · 06-02-2024, 08:40 PM

Thank you to Kev2809 and HO455 for the joint effort in finding the thread detailing the hatch repair…although now I’m quite frightened regarding the amount of skilled labor involved! I have no skill in fabrication and must now put out the feelers to find someone that I can trust (and afford???). Thanks again, guys!

Woody

PS…and many thanks to KFF 1 for documenting the tedious process he endured so that others could benefit!

Beach-Burban · 08-21-2024, 04:27 PM

During the last three months, I have been jumping from one project to another (and then another)…and we all know that isn’t an efficient way to get things done! To sum things up, I’ve made no progress with the EFI system because I shifted into the rear hatch issues. On top of that, my woodworking buddy Bob (who is in the process of “sort of” retiring) finished enough of his contracted work to jump on-board with my “Woody-Style” headliner project. With his tremendous amount of knowledge, we have made a lot of progress (but are still a ways from completion). I am committed to finishing the headliner before switching back to the other issues…except for finding a metal worker for the hatch. I have received a lead in the right direction for that…but a friend has to present it to him at the right time so as to not scare him away! In the meanwhile, please except a few pictures of the “in-progress” woodwork!

Ohhh that's going to be so great! Can't wait to see the finished headliner.

**nsiti** · 08-22-2024, 04:53 AM

That's beautiful workmanship. I notice some fabric in one of the photos, is that what you're going to back it with?

Bob definitely knows his way around wood…and just about every other type of construction! Yes…the palm tree fabric will be stretched across the hidden side of the individual panels and visible through each of the “black” voids.

Man, that is going to look killer once it’s all wrapped up. Very nice

Me too…I need something in the “Win” column! The stain color (not shown, yet) is being applied to the finished pieces right now…and it really brings out the beauty of the hickory (a really hard and stable wood)!

Thanks, CG…I’m really trying to get this finished up, but there are a lot of components to the job…and Bob does things the right way even when it takes longer (which I’m happy about!).

Woody

Beach-Burban · 08-27-2024, 04:42 PM

Here’s a couple pictures of the fabric loosely laid over the top of the front panel…not stretched tight or fastened yet. Also a glimpse of the stain color, however, it hasn’t been clear coated yet because I’m still deciding between satin or semi-gloss?
