Chevy made some beautiful cars back in the day and certainly this '66 Chevelle is a representative of good design. This '66 is one of my favorite for it's style and looks alone and like the Chevelles from that era, definitely a hit for that big block 396. That EFI is amazing too!

Whatever power your making with a carb, you could be making more power with EFI, his power level has nothing to do with EFI and everything to do with his intake, heads, cam and compression. It made 500ft-lb of torque at the wheels though, and that's excellent for what it has.

Hey guys, great to see you doing another series. I've been a qualified mechanic in Australia for 15 - 16 years now and am a qualified LPG installer/ LPG RWC Inspector (LPG cars in Aust require a separate RWC for their LPG system itself) and RWC (Road Worthy Certificate) Inspector amongst other things and thought I'd chime in on the fuel tank issue. Firstly, I would NEVER recommend anyone doing their own welding on their car's fuel tank at home in their garages- BUT FYI- it's all about purging the tank clean of flammable gasses obviously. One method old timers used to use was to completely fill the tank with water to push all the air out and then go about cleaning and drying the tank prior to commencing welding but these days we use an inert gas to purge the tank clean thoroughly, then clean for welding. THIS IS NOT A JOB FOR THE HOME MECHANIC, NO MATTER HOW EXPERIENCED. THIS IS A WORKSHOP ONLY REPAIR, IN MOST PLACES MANDATED BY LAW.

As someone who daily drives an 84 pickup that's carbureted I was seriously thinking about buying the Holly EFI kit, even had it in my shopping cart on Summit ready to buy, until I dug a little deeper. The pros are obviously mentioned everywhere: Tunes while you drive for maximum fuel economy and efficiency, better cold start up, no more having to deal with my manual choke, etc etc. But what they don't tell you is the cons. This is not an easy job that you can throw together. One thing they don't mention is you need to have a single plane intake manifold, or you need to cut and notch out your duel plane intake manifold, otherwise the Holly EFI will never run right. Duel planes are way more common, so you'd have to pull your intake manifold off and cut out and notch it and then put it back together. You can even see it in the HolyPerformance install video (even though they don't mention it). If you're half way into this project and didn't know that you'd be pretty pissed. And then there's the kicker, a properly tuned carb will run better and make MORE power than a Holly EFI kit. Holly even admits to this. So unless you're still in the build process or you have another vehicle to drive while you try to install this kit I would not recommend it. Go with a $150 wideband gauge and tune your existing carb. Hell I even added a $25 dollar flow through electric pump so when I let my truck sit for awhile I can prime the carb and it fires right up no problem

I had a 1986 k-5 blazer with the stock 350. It had a bad accelerator pump and a dead cylinder but no matter how long it sat you could bump the key and it fired right up. You’d have to feather the gas when you moved from a stop to get it to not stall but the thing would just fire right up and it would never leave me stranded. I miss that thing.

I installed this system into my 72 Mustang Conv, 351 4V car. All I can say is a Love it!! I also went with the phantom 340 in tank fuel pump, super easy to install and so far reliable. This was my first experience making breaded fuel lines, I think my fingers finally stopped bleeding :)

I was sick of pulling fuel bowls off constantly to make adjustments to fine tune the balance of street driving to WOT and having to make compromises to achieve the performance and streetability I was looking for. That was what pushed me into making this conversion. Running these systems also allows you to upgrade to a single plane manifold, in fact they even recommend having a common plenum for a more accurate vacuum signal to the MAP sensor. The wiring is easy, I used only a couple wires for the optional items while the rest is self contained so definitely do not be intimidated by that. The part of the install that took the longest was just the figuring out the routing of the harness to best hide it and cleanly integrating it into the factory harness. I chose a completely different route for fueling than an in-tank pump since I do have a return line but my tank has no baffling and could still suck air in certain situations with a less-than-full fuel level. Still have yet to drive it but I have started it and my goodness it was easy and the smell of vaporized fuel was no longer filling the garage after running it. I can’t wait to get it out on the road.

It's hilarious how many people are arguing about the stuff in the video and missed the fact that they're just watching what's probably a product placement infomercial. It's just intended to get you to buy the EFI setup. They don't care whether you argue in the comments - it just increases exposure of the video in the youtube system. Notice these shows don't have a end-to-end on any car where they just tell you exactly how stuff works and how to keep your car in spec without buying a bunch of junk. They're here only to sell you stuff, not to teach you anything.

The only EFI kit id consider now a days is the FiTech GoEfi. Starts at $795.00 and you dont have to modify anything. ECU is self contained in the throttle body with the injectors. Comparing Fitech with Holley makes the Terminator look like an antique.

Great article. As far as I last read (which is admittedly a number of years back) even the best EFI retrofit systems still made a few less HP than a properly tuned carbureted engine. I'm merely curious from a dollar for dollar standpoint how close the Chevelle could have come in terms of power and perhaps even mileage with more intensive tuning of the ignition and fuel systems to begin with. That being said, besides the other advantages listed on the video I can really see a great improvement on plug life, especially at idle, and ease of starting every so often in Winter months.

Even if they were rated at the same CFM the throttle body would still hold an advantage because of the turbulence.

you can tune a carb all you want but in the end you can only put 1 static tune on a carbed motor whereas EFi learns and tunes the engine all the time while driving. Think about low vs. high ambient temps or low altitude vs. high altitude, clean vs. dirty airfilter. These variations will all be tuned out by the EFi. EFi also does it's own cold start enrichment, no choke needed. EFi is also able to cut off fuel when engine braking. It also controls idle speed dynamicaly (compensating for AC, alternator load, powwersteeringpump load.) once you go EFi you won''t look back.

On a Hagerty video I saw that the full tach sweep will confuse the efi unit to flood the engine. How do you stop that? I have a 66 Gto with an aftermarket in the dash tach which does do a 8000 rpm sweep.

Watching install videos like this are annoying when they don't explain themselves. At the end of the install 9:20 they have ''a table full of parts'', one of which is the ignition system. If this was a ''kit'', why didn't Holley include a new distributor? Well at 8:58, you see they used a GM TBI type distributor for the ''plug and play'' ability (another mandatory item needed for this kit to work). Sure, this vid is 5+ years old but I'm just now getting back around to the idea of installing one of these. The bugs have had a while to be worked out by Holley so I'm looking forward to buying one.

Remember, this guy received the Holley EFI for free. So what do think was going to happen. Better everything.

Dan Lyons everyone I’ve ever heard of hates it so I’d say half are good and the other half are faulty

Nice video guys I have a question for u guys. I have Chevy 454 big block I wanna convert my carburetor to EFI like you guys just did. Do you have idea if I can find those partes or if I can do that to to my Chevy 454 big block thanks for your answer.

I'm old enough to remember when 95% of cars on the road in the US had carbs and old points type distributors. My first car in the 80's was carb and points type distributor ignition and I had to adjust all that on a regular basis to keep my MPG at 15 on the highway. I've had several fuel injected vehicles since and they start right up and I get way better mileage while still having plenty of power. Never ever fooling with carbs again unless I have the money to keep a "Saturday driver" around that isn't my daily driver.
