Absolutely. It has worked out quite well. Occasionally, the display has a slight lag but overall it’s been good and I would recommend it to someone that doesn’t already have an android phone
Have to love that Carb Cheater, Ever since Luke showed it with the Lawn Mower Carb its been interesting. I plan to get one, one of these days but just havent bit the bullet yet
I put one in my '71 Pontiac with a 400 and a Quadrajet along with a Progression Ignition distributor. Almost like fuel injection in how I can tune the car now. I tuned the carb for 14:1 AFR for E10 gas, and set the carb cheater to keep it as close at it can to that ratio.
Yes, a slight increase! This set-up runs nicely, but there is still room for improvement with the tune in my opinion. Going to be doing some data log trials and try to hone the carb in more.
You'd have to really love the 5.0 or the 2.7 to want to do that. Swapping either into a torino would be a huge undertaking. Not for me man.....Would rather keep the Cleveland Big-port
Love the subtle install.really nice addition to a carbureted vehicle
We agree!
I hadn’t even thought about a cheap android phone from Walmart until you said that. Thanks!

It's a cool and useful device to have on an old car!

That's about what I aim for too. How do you like the progression ignition? does it clash at all with the carb cheater?
Thanks for sharing, I can definitely see some advantages, nice that it can datalog too!
Absolutely!!
Thanks for all of the great info! I like the music in the video a lot 😊
Thank you for watching it!!
Very strategic vacuum leak
Have you noticed any difference in fuel efficiency?

Help me Matt, I started carb cheating and I’ve gained over 128 pounds!
Help is on the way!!!
Just swap a 2.7 ecoboost or 5.0 get tons of hp an there stock efi modern engines. Plenty of crash mustang n f150 at the yards.
