glad we got to share an efi build. I thought the same thing about the power wire to the efi and I took the lazy route of using the original wire to run a coil on a relay and run 12 gauge through the the tips of the relay instead of tearing through my wiring harness lol
Good job. Always nice to watch your videos. On the solder part I would recommend a heat gun for a more controlled heat. And make sure the solder tin is fully melted out.
Hi I got a question for you I have a 79 pontiac trans am. With a 400 just switched over to a tko 600. I have a temp sensor on the drivers side head for the water gauge. I also have dual fans and run a coolant temp sensor off of the cross over tube on the intake. I’m installing the sniper fuel injection system and it requires a coolant temp sensor as well. Where can I install that one. I don’t see any other ports on the intake.
Great video. I went through some "small complications" when installing my Sniper on my chevy. Mostly due to my trans controller. On a side note... bra you have an orb or something flying around at 1:26. Not sure if its apart of your editing or not
Thanks Tim... good catch, it's a UFO! Someone call the Men in Black! ha, ha... yeah, don't know much about trans controller's but, I've heard they're tricky. I assume you figured it out?
Good question... I routed mine to the intake manifold. (I have a port, just underneath the throttle body) But, for you, it should be the largest rear port on the Throttle Body. It should be a 3/8" hose barb. Hope that helps!
Yup, I don't see why not? If you're really concerned you can add a plastic carb spacer in between the throttle body, and the intake, to help keep temps lower around the computer.
I sent a video from someone else who has experienced some bugs involved with FI TECH and he used a phenolic spacer that cooled down his i.c.u. and he also talked about a good ground and a 10 micron fuel filter . I am not down playing your install but just trying to be helpful. I sent the video to your Facebook page or maybe Instagram hope it helps.👍☺
Thanks John... actually, I'm using the same heat shield and spacer I was using with my carb. A good ground is always helpful, for everything, and I'll be discussing filters in my plumbing episode. Thanks!
Hey Bill... it runs from the distributor to the back side of the fuse panel, which is actually on the "engine side" of the fuse block. That side of the panel comes off with a bolt in the middle. Really easy.
Good question, Shawn. The FiTech ForceFuel unit has the regulator inside it. So, I just have to run the return line from the ForceFuel unit, which happens to be in my trunk. I might be switching to a modern Camaro SS in tank pump in the future, which also has a built in return line, inside the tank! Stay tuned for that. Thanks for the comment!
I know Christopher, as I already replied on the Walk Around video. The primer is VHT High Temp Engine Enamel Primer. Let me know if you did NOT get the other reply on the Walk Around Video, as I included a link. I suspect some responses do not come through if there's a link posted. Thanks!
@@christophertaulli Welcome! Did you get my response on the Walk Around video? (I had included a link, but I have no idea if links get removed, etc..) I'm jealous you have TWO Goats! Git er dun!
I want you to know I love what you're doing but, I do have a piece of advice for you. When your speaking sometimes you sound like you're talking to a child (its in the tone of your voice) and others you sound like you're talking to adults. My advice would be to lose the im talking to kids tone. The other tone is perfect.
@@jtmunn4496 Thanks for the support... I want it grow too, lol... you hit it on the head, I'd much prefer to go through life with some levity... life's too short. See ya next week!
Fellow Pontiacker here. Binge watched all your videos and now I’m strung out waiting for each new episode lol. Great videos Mike!
Thanks Don! Much appreciated.

Ha! As long as you're getting adequate juice to the distributor, you're good. Thanks for sharing!
Working on a 65 Fastback myself. You give great insight to any project with your videos. Thank you sir.
Thanks Mac! Glad to hear it... good luck on your project! More good stuff to come...
Good video. It is great that you are doing a step by step fuel injection install on Pontiac powered GTO. Thank you.
Thanks! Yeah, I figured someone could learn from my mistakes... ha, ha...
Great video Mike. Now the long wait for the next one.
Ha! Thanks!
Good job. Always nice to watch your videos. On the solder part I would recommend a heat gun for a more controlled heat. And make sure the solder tin is fully melted out.
Thanks! I agree... I actually couldn't find my heat gun. Oh well, a lighter was plan B. Ha, ha...
good work Mike
Thanks Brother!
Very interesting. Nice job so far.
Thanks John, so far so good.
Hi I got a question for you

I have a temp sensor on the drivers side head for the water gauge. I also have dual fans and run a coolant temp sensor off of the cross over tube on the intake. I’m installing the sniper fuel injection system and it requires a coolant temp sensor as well. Where can I install that one. I don’t see any other ports on the intake.
Good question. You won't need the fan sensor anymore, so use that port. (The EFI system will now control the fans) :)
Great video. I went through some "small complications" when installing my Sniper on my chevy. Mostly due to my trans controller.
On a side note... bra you have an orb or something flying around at 1:26. Not sure if its apart of your editing or not
Thanks Tim... good catch, it's a UFO! Someone call the Men in Black! ha, ha... yeah, don't know much about trans controller's but, I've heard they're tricky. I assume you figured it out?
So now that time has gone by, how is it holding up?
It's holding up great! Did you see my most recent video about it? Check it out... it was fun.
I have the same pcv from the valley pan. Where did you route that on fitech unit? Or did you route elsewhere
Good question... I routed mine to the intake manifold. (I have a port, just underneath the throttle body) But, for you, it should be the largest rear port on the Throttle Body. It should be a 3/8" hose barb. Hope that helps!
Is it good for daily use and the temperature is very high up to 50 degrees Celsius in the summer? Help me
Yup, I don't see why not? If you're really concerned you can add a plastic carb spacer in between the throttle body, and the intake, to help keep temps lower around the computer.
Great video!
Thanks!
Could you have put the return line/vent in the fuel filler neck
Good question... as long as the fuel can easily get back to the tank, yes.

@@FastMonty your welcome . enjoyed this series and can't wait for the next one. Take care Mike.👍☺
Mike where did you run the 12 Guage wire for the distributor too?
Hey Bill... it runs from the distributor to the back side of the fuse panel, which is actually on the "engine side" of the fuse block. That side of the panel comes off with a bolt in the middle. Really easy.
I have a TBI distributor, is it ok to connect it with fitech efi ?
I don't see why not? You should definitely check with FiTech. Have fun!
At 8,03 not true, the sensor has 2 wires connector yellow signal and black ground, so the sensor does not to have ground at sensor to intake
Ahhh, great catch. I'm so trained to not use PTFE tape on those fittings. Thanks!
Why did you not have to have a fuel return line???
Good question, Shawn. The FiTech ForceFuel unit has the regulator inside it. So, I just have to run the return line from the ForceFuel unit, which happens to be in my trunk. I might be switching to a modern Camaro SS in tank pump in the future, which also has a built in return line, inside the tank! Stay tuned for that. Thanks for the comment!
Mike add timing control there’s a noticeable increase in power.
That makes perfect sense. I'll add that to my "to do" list. Thanks for the comment!
Does anyone know which primer he used on engine block before the "restoration color" brand engine paint on gto
I know Christopher, as I already replied on the Walk Around video. The primer is VHT High Temp Engine Enamel Primer. Let me know if you did NOT get the other reply on the Walk Around Video, as I included a link. I suspect some responses do not come through if there's a link posted. Thanks!
Thank you soo very much man! Going buy some merchandise from fmg. I'm doing my 67 gto then my 70 Judge.

Is it the vht flame proof?
@@FastMonty been having both cars for 25 or so years found original build sheet for judge when I dropped fuel tank. Is definitely a # matching Judge
do you ever blink your eyes
Nope. It's a waste of time. Thanks.
