rhussjr,
Thanks for sharing your project with us.
I have a 58, 3100 with a 235 and a Rochester carburetor. Needless to say, I think there has to be a better way.
I’d like to go with the Holley Sniper, Autolite 1100, EFI. I’ve been doing some planning and I think I have all the details worked out except for one. The coolant temperature sensor for the EFI needs to be installed into the coolant jacket of the head. There is no place to install it in the stock head configuration. I’m not keen on drilling a hole in my perfectly good head for another port, especially with the head installed on the engine.
The installation instructions for the EFI unit clearly states that the sensor needs coolant flow over it. I do have a tee that I can use to install both temperature sensors into but that would eliminate the flow over the sensor. I’d like your opinion on how critical it is to have the coolant flow over the EFI temperature sensor vs being deadened at the tee installed in the head?
Others on here, who’s opinions I respect have advised against the tee installation.
Thanks in advance for any info you can offer.
