yardbird said:I had an "85" Tbird (anniversary model) w/306 Ported D8 heads and a comp 270 mag cam w/aod. I put the 2bbl projection on it because I did not want to use a carb and the original throd body which was std that year was WAY too small. I had the closed loop kit but never got around to hooking it up. I liked it better than a carb setup, but didnt drive it enough to make any meaningful comparisons.
I had the 88 Ltr in tank pump which was not quite enough----I suspect. If I remember correctly, the projection does not require the fuel pressure that the regular injection systems require. Again, I think it required about the same as a carburator---maybe a little more. You will have to put an adjustable (mallory?) regulator on the tank feed line and route the overflow back through the tank return line. Easily do-able, not rocket science. Sounds like the updated 4bbl versions are better. Rather than the expense of the projection, I would look for a donor for a factory setup (MAF).
If you want to improve cold weather starts, you might consider an MSD 6 series and trigger it from either the points or a magnetic pickup from a later ford distributor (they can be retrofitted). I found one problem w/MSD is they will fool you about the adjustments on a carb sometimes. They will fire just about any mixture, which "aint" necessarily a good thing! Anyway, hope this small tidbit helped some.
