  1. If money is not an objet......definitely Illuminas or the Tokico Blues(GR2's)
  2. I'll keep you all posted with pics as it goes.
  3. Oh it's been discussed and debated. Here's that discussion: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16537 Thanks, John
  4. Hi Guys - I bought this L28 nearly a month ago. Pretty much will remain stock except the camshaft, the distributor, the fuel injection system and some cooling stuff. I will be putting the AZ Intake Manifold w/ the Holley 390 CFM Elec. Choke 4BBL..hopefully by the end of March I will buy one.

    I'm glad it's working out for you Steve..but some of us who's running or used to run FI wasn't very fortunate. I guess it all boils down to preferences. I see your soon to be San Bernardino resident..I'm just an hour away or less..maybe we can hook and have a few beers. John

    Steve - I'm sure that tripple webbers will make more power (at least they should) as will ANY turbocharged car with EFI, again you miss the point. A 12 second quarter mile time is not what this intake was designed for. The objective was to have very simple product that makes a significant mprovement in performance over stock, has beautiful driveability and that anyone with decent mechanical skill can install and maintain. The Holly 390 seems to work super right out of the box with no rejetting. The holly parts are available anywhere at pennies on the dollar campared to Mikuni or Weber parts. the early 280Z's are now coming up on 30 years old it has become a significant liability for many owners......the cost of a new airflow meter (most of the junkyard one are worthless) six injectors, a pressure regulator, dropping resistors, and replacement fuel pump may well exceed the value of some of these cars. Even if any or all of the above were replaced it doesn't begin to address the issues of the wiring harness (corroded connectors and sensors etc). Again the 4-barrel offers a simple and cost effective solution to what otherwise might become a parts car. With electric choke the Holly fires right up, requires no synchronization ,little if any maintainance and still maintains good gas mileage. A 9 inch low profile aircleaner clears the stock hood but the underside of the one vent on the 77-78 needs to be clearanced slightly. Here's a breakdown on cost: 4-barrel intake manifold $259 holly 390 CFM elect. choke around $300 cable linkage $25-$39 Chrome aircleaner $25-35 Low pressure fuel pump $29 Total cost should be around $650 Some of the main advantages of the 4Brl setup: Throttle response/driveability ease of maintanance/reliability gas mileage cleanliness of installation/appearance When talking about driveability I'm referring to crisp throttle response from right off the line to redline without hesitation, backfires etc. Again the 390 jetting is close enough right out of the box, jetting tripple webbers for a daily driver is a bit more involved.

    Thanks for your imputs! I think I will go with the Arizona Intake manifold and Holley 390 CFM Elec. choke 4bbl carburator due to it's reliability, simplicity and less cost. John

    Super High Flow Fuel Injection - Has anyone tried using one of this? And if so, how well does it perform -Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page ? http://www.arizonazcar.com/manifold.html

    Hey Guys - Which is better in performance..the L28 carburated or the fi? Let's just say both are stock engines. John
