I installed the Distributor and Intake. Have some running around today. will post more as I get it done. Still waiting on a few fittings so I cam run the fuel line the way I want it

I finally decided which EFI I am going to install on My 65 GTO, I decided to go with the Edelbrock pro flow 4. I really wanted to go with the Fittech Tri Power but was a little Leary of the fact that it didn't intrigant with the Distributer ( which I needed to replace anyways ). Plus the cost the Fitech was about $1500.00 more after you figure linkage and other parts that don't come with it. I then looked into Holley Qudrajet. Butler has a good Kit ,But I liked the idea of the direct port injection and I am not really going for the factory look because My car is not a real GTO any ways. So I decided to go with the Edelbrock the only things the kit didn't come with is the coil and furl pump and hose and hose clamps. Holley Makes a fuel pump that is a direct replacement for the original one in the stock fuel tank. On My 65 We even have to drop the tank. And You can use the Factory fuel line. and don't need to run a return line. Still in the process of installing it .I will post more later

Your right, I am still working on which way I want to go. It may have to wait till fall when I get back in town. I am really leaning towards the EFI. And if I go that way I want to go with the Distributor that supports it. Looking at the spread bore from Holley.

I do not, the car has 90,000+, but it is a 1965. the motor checks out to be a 1969 400. It was in the car when I bought it. The thing that has me confused is that the car was running fine before I put in the vintage air, Then when I got it done the car started having starting problems. went through two ignition modules now on the third one and now the timing is fluctuating. I am really wondering if it isn't the distributer ( it is an aftermarket HEI unit no name or markings on it). I am thinking that if the bushings on the shaft are letting it wobble that would mess with the timing. My real dilemma is that I am thinking about changing over to fuel injection and if I do that I want to change the distributer any way. But I would like to find out for sure if that is the problem. still researching it. But I am leaving in two weeks for the summer and wont be able to do any thing on it till we Get back in September. Don't like spending summers in in Las Vegas to hot

Finally got back to working on the GTO. It seems that I may have a bigger problem. Put in the new module and wiring harness, Got the car started. but it does not want to run right, set the timing at 10 degrees. Noticed the timing is fluctuating all over the place. I know this can be caused by the timing chain being stretched. but it was running fine before. Do you think this could be the distributer. It is an after market billet distributor I don't know who made it, it was in the car when I bought it or another reason for the timing to fluctuate, thanks

Thanks every one. I ordered new parts, be here tomorrow. Going out of town for the weekend. wouldn't be working on it again till next week

Thanks that Video pretty basic, I know to check all of what he is showing. My problem is more complicated than that. I all ready have all new parts. But something is burning out the ignition modules, Need to find out what

I have 1965 GTO, the motor is a 1969 400, it has an after market HEI Distributor. The car was running fine. Over the last few months I installed an vintage air system. some gages under the dash and a few other goodies, like aluminum pulleys. Got it ready to start the car started but wouldn't run, got to the point were it wouldn't even try to start, checked things out found had no spark. Ordered a new MSD cap, rotor, and ignition module. Put it in and again it tried to start put wouldn't stay running, then again I lost spark. Not wanting to wait for another MSD module I went to O Reilly's and bought a Accel Ignition module. Put it in it started right up, ran fine. Went out Today after setting for about a week tried to start it NO SPARK. I really hate electrical problems. Any one got ant ideas as to what the problem could be

Very Nice

I have been looking at the FITECH Tri power You can get them cheaper at jegs and summit. But according to Butler they need special offset studs to bolt to the stock Manifolds and I can't find any aftermarket manifolds for pontiac. Butler said theirs is going to cast about $ 5 grand. Another thing I was wondering about is I dont think It works like the progressive linkage on a regular tripower. If it doesn't then what is the advantage of it other then looks. that is a lot of money just for looks

I think your right, I will check it some more when I get it all put back together. Still have a few things to do before I can run it. I will let you know what I find out.

I think it is correct the way the factory intended, It's just that it doesn't make a lot of sense that it would use the whole radiator. I've been a pipefitter for 50 years and I know that liquid will choose the path of least resistance, that said with the inlet and outlet on the same side of the vesel it will go in and right back out unless there is a baffle or something to direct the flow to the other side of the radiator. It just seem odd, now if it was a cross flow it wouldn't make as much of a difference because the tubes would direct the flow, But this is not a cross flow radiator. We will have to see how it works out. Thanks for You input
