So late last year I took advantage of the opportunity to purchase a used EZ Efi 1.0 set up for less than half the price of new. With the help of Mike, I made up my list of parts needed to completely replace the fuel system. With cost savings vs. reliability in mind I bought the following items. Tanks Inc. fuel tank direct replacement built for in tank pump, pump, sending unit, short sections of flexible line, hard line, fittings, clamps, fuel filter, and Aeroquip regulator and gauge. On the electrical side I went with Mike's suggestion of an alternator upgrade and got a Powermaster 100 amp unit. The MSD distributor he uses was a little expensive so I purchased a Summit CD ignition box. ( Fast sells a coil adapter for the tach signal but strongly suggests an ignition box for a clean signal.) I also needed misc. wire and some relays and fuse holders.
I started by changing the ignition and test firing the engine with the carburetor to eliminate it as a source if the engine didn't fire with the fuel injection installed. After swapping out the tanks I ran into my first hurdle, kinked lines. I learned from Google that filling them with sand prevented kinks and it worked like a charm. I made the line in two sections and getting the sand out of the second half that I had to complete on the car was a real bear.
The installation was pretty straight forward but time consuming. I made up a nice mount for the ignition and ECU only to read in the manual that the ECU should be at least two feet away from electrical noise like ignition boxes, D'oh! I ran into an issue with voltage fluctuation but with advise from some of the folks here and some trouble shooting that is no longer a problem. On its maiden voyage it was laying over really bad when accelerating. I knew there was a learning period but it wasn't getting much better after a couple rides. The manual led me to an adjustment that is basically an accelerator pump and one change made a world of difference.
I haven't had many chances to drive it with work, weather, and PennDot putting tar in the cracks of the highway I live on but I was quite happy with the last ride. I can't wait get it tuned in completely.

Ok, that one picture wasn't upside down when I loaded it.

Thanks for the information Mark! I'm thinking about getting something similar for my wif'e car.

Good choice going for the already made tank Mark. I burned alot of wire getting the kit they sell to fit my tank without leaking. (My neighbor wanted to kill me for using a grinder on the tank.. talk about loud echo sound.)

Did you see they have a new handheld controller? It's like the 2.0 setup but can be used on our 1.0 setup..

I did not see that, I will check it out.

I like it! I really like it!!!
Really interested if there are performance and mileage gains.
Say good bye to flooded hot restarts.

very cool

Nice work!

I tried to hide as much of the EFI stuff as I could. Unlike some other systems, it's hard to hide the fact you have a EZ EFI setup due to the amount of wiring.

BTW, if you're looking at a car and not sure if it's running EFI (some systems like are pretty stealthy), look for the coolant temp sensor. If it's a single wire, it's either stock or aftermarket gauge. If it's got a multi-wire connector, then it's a good chance they are running EFI.

That's a nice clean installation there Mike. I wanted a cleaner look but with the ignition box being bigger I decided to put the ECU and that huge harness on the firewall. I mounted the regulator where the old one was because I was using the original feed line as a return line. The return line isn't hooked up yet in the photo.
