Easy fix...just need to pin them directly to the dash harness or separate the harness. It doesn't go to the ECU.

It turns on the fuel pump as well.

I worked with an old fast efi system in a 2.3 turbo sand rail. It used an old turbo coupe harness re wires a bit.

There was only like 10 wires plus the fuel injectors wires we needed to hook up.

Electrical really isn't bad vinnie. With everything else you've done, it would be a cake walk.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

LOL. I hope it is. If all this happens, which it's looking like it will this spring, then I'll get the master kit and use the new inline fuel pump. Keep all of the Fast kit parts (or FiTech) that I can.

I am starting to really look forward to the swap, and making the hood functional.

FI tech has the fuel command center. its an under hood sump basically. Its mainly for carbed cars so you dont have to rework the entire fuel system to run it. the factory pump fills it and it has another self contained fuel pump that pumps to the throttle body.

I saw that, it's for a low pressure pump. I like the idea of the inline high pressure pump the FAST offers. I think FiTech also has the inline high pressure pump as well. I will call them and ask questions and do a lot of studying first.

I saw that. I believe they have a master kit with that pump, O2 sensor/wideband, etc.

I want the one big, do it all kit.

Update......

First, my apologies for not updating. I know I hate it when I'm left hanging and waiting for updates from others, so I shouldn't do that.

Now, decided to keep the SEFI. I swapped distributors, and the car is running very strong, and I'm about to do something I haven't done in a long time, but used to a lot....swapping the intake. I'm going to pull the tubular GT-40 and Tmoss ported lower to install a Trick Flow R Series intake and Accufab 75mm throttle body. Also, a few new ignition parts that I have in the garage, and new fuel pump.

I miss when you posted a picture of a new, polished intake every weekend.

LOL. Well, one more time. I'll be installing the parts this spring when it warms up. The parts list is fairly long of what I'd replacing or adding.

Aeromotive 340 lph pump
Trick Flow R Series intake
New thermostat and housing and ARP housing bolts
New PCV kit (just the screen grommet and PCV)
New factory style ARP intake bolts
New Cobra Master Cylinder
New King Cobra clutch
New polished aluminum valve covers
New 75 mm Accufab throttle body and EGR delete spacer
New heater pipes that come without the little "water to the spacer" tube on it
New electric fan
New MSD ignition kit....distributor, coil, ignition box and adapter harness
New Livewires spark plug wires
SN95 Mustang fuel rail with a Kirban adjustable fuel pressure regulator

That's the list as it is now. It took a looooong time to gather parts. I'll peck away at this stuff til it's all done.

Why the 340 lph pump?  I am making well over 330rwhp on a Walbro 255 lph pump.  I would just be concerned that you might be putting more pump in the car than the fuel lines will handle.  The pump manufacturer should have that info but I just wanted to throw that out there as it happened to me once from lack of planning.  The return line was too small for the volume of fuel the pump put out so I had to run a new, larger return line to solve the problem.
