IIRC FiTech said they ran this on a Mopar with an even bigger cam. It was a bunch of posts back but I believe it was presented as a plug & play NOT what Rod is going through. |

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
The towel has been thrown in. Just got off the phone with my buddies and they can't get it to run right either. So I have sent Ken and Jeremy a email. Saying I want a RMA# so I can return it and I want a refund.

Bummer dude! Oh well. Worth a shot I guess. Do you think that as you recover from this experience you will explore a different injection Avenue?

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
I mean I think, that you were lead to believe it was going to be easier than it actually was going to be. I just think this system is not robust enough to work on an engine that is the caliber of yours without a whole lot fiddling with stuff. Either way, I do hope you don't have any trouble getting a refund!
I'm personally of the opinion that this kit shouldn't have been sold to you because I don't think it's a good fit for your scenario. I could be wildly wrong, but that's what I'm assuming. For that reason, I think you should be able to get a full refund.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Disappointing, you've invested a lot of time/frustration and money! I've been following your progress and was planning on going this route myself.
With the documentation you have I couldn't imagine that they wouldn't refund your money. |

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
You would think they wouldn't. But I have yet to hear from them. I have sent 3 emails requesting a RMA for return and a full refund.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Got a email from Ken. They are standup people. I wish this would have worked honestly I do. But sometimes things just don't. For the people who have the FiTech and it works you will love it.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Now go back to hunting for more stuff. A carb.
Go with a custom carb? If so from who? Go OTS and get a QFT a Holley or a Mighty Demon. What you guys think. |

I actually bummed it didn't work, kinda sucks and I feel bad. Hell, I don't even know you. ![]() At least they honored what they said and will give your refund. I do wonder if it's the cam or something else that the FiTech had an issue with, it would be interesting to find out what the cause was but the only way that probably could happen is if FiTech had the truck in their possession and swapped parts around till they narrowed the issue down. Well on a side note, I'll have a carb for sale this spring....hint hint. ![]() |

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Is it not worth trying one of the other brand EFIs?

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
So now I have to replace all my fuel line and inline filter. 6an won't work for my HP and a carb. Going up to 8an line and filter. Plus will need to buy a return style regulator and another fuel log. So I will have new fuel line and a filter for anyone who wants it pre cut with ends on it for our trucks. If anyone needs it.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
