John McGraw or anyone else that ran EFI in their SRIII (or other) cars

What electronics did you use, I noticed you said sequential injection.

speed density systems use a MAP sensor (Manifold absolute pressure) instead of a MAF (Mass Air Flow) along with the TPS and temp sensors. Many of the aftermarket systems are speed density and the fuel map can be done on a laptop. My 76 has a Holley system which is batch fire (it fires one bank and then the other) instead of sequential which injects the fuel timed to the Camshaft one cylender at a time. When I did my 76 back in 99 the few sequential systems were about 4 times the cost of the Holley(just for electronics) so altho I would have liked sequential cost among other things dictated the batch fire system.

The box was developed by Altair Engineering (my buddy was their Chief Engineer), and most of the sensors were standard off-the-shelf items. The only major adaptation items were the cam and crank sensors in order to have it sequential.

The EFI system which I adapted onto my wife's Jeep uses a MAP sensor as opposed to a MAF along with a gang of other sensors so I expect it's a speed density system. Since I was robbing it off of another, newer Jeep, I didn't have to figure out how everything worked... I just made sure it did. The crank position sensor was a PITA since the system was designed to have the CPS on the flywheel (and I didn't want to change flywheels) but I got a front crank adaptor which works like a charm!
