I suppose you've seen the thread on the FiTech "Tri-power" system? Not knocking the Edelbrock kit but that FiTech setup is badass.View attachment 622118 View attachment 622117 Going against everything I've said here in the past, I am considering this for a build that is 1-2 years out. To reduce down time, the build will go on while the current 440 is in the car and running. I want to do some parts acquisition a piece at a time. That's my 440 Block, 1974 cast, clean and never bored. Always looking for advice. I like Edelbrock. In tank pump not included. It's a big investment.
Thanks Rich. I went back to the mechanical pump, but while using the Edelbrock Street 150 GPH electric pump, I saw no improvement. Maybe I didn't run it long enough prior to spinning the starter. The electric pump left me down twice on the road.I'm surprised you're having hot restart issues with an electric fuel pump.
My Coronet runs the FiTech TBI and I have hot start issues too, although I believe its heat soak in the Fuel Command Center that's mounted in the engine compartment. The port FI is very interesting.
After running the TBI on the Coronet and the Eddy carb on the Dart, I wouldn't recommend FI for most people, especially here in CA. However, you drive your car a lot more than most of us, and to elevations most of us flat landers don't venture to so you will get your monies worth.
Thanks for the link. Had not seen this.A lot of people recommend Tanks Inc.

I remember the stories. The in-tank fuel pumps have a greater life expectancy than the externals.Thanks Rich.
