Been spending some time with this old girl.

Today was her 59th birthday.  She rolled off the assembly line on Oct 25, 1965. And Oct 25th was also my late mother’s birthday.  
 

Had to wipe the tune off the EZ-EFI fuel injection system and start over.  Ran very rough until it hit the 200 degree operating temp then smoothed out.  Let it sit a couple of days and she fired right up.  Just a little cantankerous at first, but I was too at 59.  After putting a few more miles on it, I pulled out the IR temp gun and noticed some big temp swings on my exhaust ports.  Found some potential vacuum leaks I need to address and try again later.

Very nice. I was thinking about the EZ-EFI retrofit for my fox, but that will be a task for the new owner once its gone.

I bought the FI system when it first came out.  Lots of improvements in aftermarket FI since then.  And better options too!  I thought about yanking all of this out and starting over until it seemed to improve by starting over.
