28 Ford Roadster Pickup Hilborn Fuel Injection 1

Tony Cortes's vintage Hilborn fuel injection conversion project. See it and hear it run

They're old mechanical Hilborns that I converted to electronic. I welded bungs into the intake ports, fabricated fuel rails from extrusions, and built, wired and programmed the Megasquirt 2 computer (ECU).

I used a Megasquirt kit that I assembled and tuned myself using an Innovate wode band O2 sensor.

Did you not have a video that showed it running with the mechanical setup. I would like to see that again. Thanks.

[tltony]

No harder than any other electronic FI system. I've done a few different systems, and the Megasquirt is pretty similar to a Fast or Holly system regarding tuning. They are all similar as far as the required sensors and wiring.

Great job. I'm converting the same basic Hilborn to my 1948 Anglia Gasser with a 327. Nice set up for the TPI. What did you use?

[tltony]

Interesting question. Don't think you could make it work. I think the injector needs to be in the air flow. However, you could put the injectors in the stack, like the F1 guys are doing now.
