OK, I'm looking for input...
I built a 1725 for my daily driver '67 Arrow wagon. Tried using Alpine GT carbs, but just can't get the smog-era carbs to work to my satisfaction. Add to that the typical problems of running Strombergs on modern fuel, and converting to EFI keeps looking better and better.
There's a guy who's developed a kit to convert CD150 and CD175 Strombergs into TBI throttle bodies, check out sidedrafttbi.com. Seems like a really simple conversion. But their electronics package can't handle a twin carb 4 with 1-3-4-2 firing order, they only do kits for single carb fours. I have a single carb intake I could use, but would rather keep the duals.
Well, MegaSquirt to the rescue. Complete tunability, and capable of simultaneously firing both injectors. Reasonable price and good technical support, plus it doesn't require changing the ignition system. Sounds perfect.
Any opinions? Anybody running MegaSquirt on anything, Sunbeam or not?
