The words “EFI Conversion” to classic, carbureted muscle car owners might as well be spoken in a foreign language – most don’t understand how you do it or think it’s too much work. On the other hand, they might suffer from carburetor problems, including bad gas mileage, and do nothing about it. What if there was an easy solution that allowed you to convert your classic muscle car over to fuel injection in a weekend and never have to worry about tuning it…ever? Well there is an answer, and it’s called the FAST EZ EFI. We installed one on a ’68 Camaro to answer the question – is this idea of self-tuning really possible?

FAST’s EZ EFI system is an extremely versatile system for virtually for anyone that is looking to switch from traditional carburetor, or even as a controller for currently fuel injected cars. All you need to do is answer a few basic questions and the EZ EFI does the rest. No more laptop or expensive tuning sessions are required – everything you need is right there inside, waiting to learn.
One of the most important aspects for a properly operating engine is the air/fuel ratio. An air/fuel ratio that is too rich will waste horsepower, and one that is too lean will cause certain destruction to your engine. One of those critical gauges, the wide band air/fuel ratio gauge, has up until recently been an expensive one. Thankfully, however, FAST has released a budget wide band air/fuel ratio gauge that allows you to tune on the road without breaking the bank. We install and test one on our Project “Riced Rat Rod” 240sx.
You learn a little something new everyday. If I hang around long enough, I’ll be a genius. Today’s lesson; Ford 2G alternators and fires.
Before you get the wrong idea, our stripper Mustang that we call “Project 666″ is fine. We didn’t burn it to ground or anything like that.

There’s a glut of air-fuel ratio meters on the market, and picking the right one for you and your car is not an easy task. FAST realized during development of its latest FAST Air/Fuel Meter that it could not build a tool that would work perfectly for every street and race car, but they could build a unique meter that would work great for a wide variety of enthusiasts. After seeing a FAST meter in a few carb’d street cars at our local track in Irwindale, California, we decided to ask around and see why it was so popular. This story is a result of that research.
