Default ‘63 -‘65 fi

Given the limited number that were produced between’63-‘65 do these FI units come up for sale?

I checked to see if the answer to your question might be found on eBay, and it is! I found several units for sale, including this one.

Well it doesn’t get any easier than that. Didn’t think to check.
Thinking about going with an FI unit for an upcoming 434 and TKX installation.
Thanks

Before you buy a unit hopefully you have the expertise to work on it or at the very least know of someone who can. Not many individuals around anymore with that capibility. begee22

fortunately for MRG he lives in No CAL.. The NCRS FI guru Jim Lockwood also lives in No CAL.. So, OP has that issue covered.. Jim knows these units like no one's business.

Even when these were new/newer it was hard to find a good person to work on them...
Hot Rod magazine, in the early 70's, had an article saying to get rid of them and put a holly/HI rise on for more horsepower... I watched my friend do that on his Original fuelie 63 coupe back then.... We were in High School... Young and dumb..

The irony is that Rochester FI is waaaaay more simple than a carburetor. Waaaaay more! (Yes, I am, for once, being serious.)

Shhhhhh...... don't tell anyone. Keep it a secret, OK?
