Howel TBI questions

[diddycj5]

Since the Edelbrock or custom MPFI is too expensive I am looking at other options. I have heard that the Howel TBI system is pretty decent and can be picked up for around $800-900. Has anyone out there run this kit? Also, it seems that Quadratec/4wd.com only sell the 2bbl kit and they want $1200. I know that they are not going to be the best price. Anybody know anybody cheaper?

Also, I heard that the Howel system can be integrated with a GM style HEI distributor for better performance/fuel economy - especially when running at altutitude. For my 360 rebuild project I already bought a Mallory Unilite, Promaster coil and Hyfire IIIA box off ebay. However, I have no idea if you can hook the Mallory Unilite/Hyfire system into the Howel like with the HEI. Does any body know if that will work? I am not opposed to reselling the Mallory system and going with a HEI if that is the only way to go. Any suggestions?

Since several of the trails I run in CO get up to 11-12,000+ft, I currently have issues keeping my stock 304 with the 2bbl 2100 carb running. (I hate that carb). I have rebuilt the carb, down jetted it (I acutally found a place with 20yr NOS jets for the carb - I bought out their inventory) and it still runs like crap - blows power valves and runs too rich. I am sick of carbs and like the idea of either MPFI or TBI.

I would suggest too looking into Propane Power

I've seen 2 vehicles successuflly run propane, and the more research I learn/hear about it the better it sounds.

Nope, be curious what you find out though.

Don't see why not unless the Howell system interfaces injector timing with spark - but I don't see why???


Propane Power
I've heard and seen propane powered vehicles - is the cost per mile actually better? Power?? And are Propane service stations common? Here on the penninsula, we only have propane tanks at places like U-Haul??

Propane is pretty convenient, think of all the accesories you can hook up--grill, turkey frier, etc. :roll: I

Seriously though, with my 350 I would love the Edelbrock system but the price... :-| Hey MC what's your discount on that?

[jeepsr4ever]

Edelbrock isnt speaking on it right now, they dont have jack squat for markup on their items..I am seriously surprised

[ROBERT11]

Doesn't MPFI add around 45 ponies? :-|

[jeepsr4ever]

easy with replacing a stock 2bbl intake :t:
