1984 fitech FI
I recently purchased an 84 c4 that was carb swapped with a basically thrashed efi harness so I decided to install a basic fitech efi system. you can check out my crappy youtube link here to check it out. I'd be happy to answer any questions and will answer them to the best of my ability.

very cool, thanks for the video. I have been wanting to do this fitech or the Holly sniper for a long time on a C3.
I like the idea of doing it on an 84 as well.
my understanding is they are good up to about 600 hp.

I see what you're saying, but I think that in this circumstance it's more that the fuel injection system was designed to fit on any vehicle that had a carb.
there are many types of plenums and many types of throttle bodies and many types of intakes.

I think the sniper system is amazingly simple and they designed it so no major shuffling under the hood would have to be done.I do not think they designed it to look like a carburetter on purpose. I think they designed a fuel injection system to go where there was once a carburetor.

probably a little bit of both in regards to design. i like the way it looks because some might not even notice it fuel injection. Whatever the reason it works great and is easily swapped back to a carb if you wanted

interesting, thanks for posting the video...what has been done to the hood to allow that to fit? I subbed to your channel, so I'll see all the good stuff you're doing here...
Does the TV cable get extended fully at wide open throttle with that setup?

Teal, how well did the fi-tech integrate into the main harness? I’m doing a big block swap Into a c4, and I’ve been looking at megasquirt, but the fi-tech has seems to be more user friendly, but I want to keep the functionality of the stock lcd Tokyo by night gauges.

I have the fitech on my 1990 ~ 600 power adder. It works great, and is a stand alone system. The power adder is good because it adds 200 rpm's when the a/c is activated.
Plus with a cam it self programs, so that was the selling point for me. If you need any tips, let me know.
