Aces EFI Fuel Delivery Kit | '64 Ford Fairlane

#fordracing #fordperformance #fordfairlane #acesefi #fuelinjection #efiupgrade
Here is Part 1 of our series where we are going to be making some upgrades to my good friends 1964 Ford Fairlane. It currently has an HEI and Edelbrock carb on it. Underneath is a mild 302 with a small Comp cam. The fuel delivery kit comes with almost everything you will need to get high pressure fuel to the new injection system. In our application, the fuel return fitting while impressive, just wasn't going to fit our tank due to limited access. We also chose to use the factory hard line as our fuel return and opted to use the new push lock hose for our feed line.

Give us a call Jason! We would love to hook you up with some merch!

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

Will do. Thanks!

[@jacobshaw6881]

Dude, thank you so freaking much. Do you happen to have s source for the schematic design? I didn't get one with the kit :/

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

Yeah, I downloaded a second one from the website to color on and get dirty during my install.

[@KCadbyRacing]

Nice quality and well explained install👍 I already commented on your short about lowering the fuel pump but adding here that, EFI pumps are designed for pushing, not pulling fuel (and that includes long distances, not just height). With that said (reposting here), I haven't and wouldn't ever do it but I've seen (and tuned) several installs that worked fine (for years) with the pump mounted (less than 12") higher than the fuel level...

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

Thanks for the reply’s and watching. Very much appreciated.

[@trentdawg2832]

Nice….im putting the very same setup on my sons ‘67 mustang….even the ignition setup…these videos are like gold to me right now…..although i have alot of experience with LS swaps into older cars , so this tbi should be a walk in the park!!!….i too am waiting on the distrubtor and coil and currently have a china gm hei unit on the ford

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

Right on! Sounds like a sweet project. I’d love to do an ls swap one of these days.

[@IDontKnowWhatImDoing09]

How did you get such smooth footage in the intro? Thats also a SICK Nova!!

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

We used a DJI gimble. The Nova was fun.

[@TheRustFarm]

Thanks for this video I was confused my 255 fuel system had no instructions and your video saved me from calling aces

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

Glad it helped

[@HeatherJancoski1]

OMG you are driving it? WOW! Did the kids help you tape you driving?

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

We are. Working on the tuning functions and yes the kids were recording. They are my camera crew for summer school.

[@AnthonyPutnam-o7o]

I am watching the video and you did a amazing job

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

Thanks dude!

[@JWolfTechTV]

That’s a nice looking ride.

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

It sure is!

[@chriscollins6315]

I just got my Jeep back from a shop that installed my Aces EFI kit. Stalled out on me twice driving it back home, and the fuel pump is super loud. I know it has to learn and tune itself, but is the fuel pump supposed to be annoyingly loud, and did you have any trouble after initial installation?

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

The fuel pump is pretty loud. That’s standard for externally mounted pumps. Rubber isolators and some dynamat can go a long way. As far as tuning you’ll want to play with it to get it setup for you. We had some running issues and after going back and forth with Aces tech support they got our tune sorted out. It took some time and a lot of patience.

[@chriscollins6315]

@DrivingForwardBuilds I greatly appreciate you taking time to respond. I was a little bummed out and wishing I had just kept the carb.

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

@@chriscollins6315 I hear you on that. The growing pains can be tough to get through but it will be worth it.

[@trentdawg2832]

Why not just use the drain plug on the gas tank….thats what i did on my ‘67 mustang..put a barbed fitting on it…done

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

Actually that’s a solid idea.

[@timothyramos884]

@trentdawg2832 how/where did you end up mounting the fuel pump currently trying to get mine set up

[@trentdawg2832]

@@timothyramos884 on a hanger coming off of the fuel tank mounting flange….u can go to a hardware store and just get some type of ‘L’ bracket

[@dc10tech911]

Hey dude, what are you using to fasten the clamps to the body? Are those self taping screws? I am seriously contemplating buying this kit for my 67 Camaro and your videos are on the verge of selling me on it. Everyone always mentions how there is not enough hose. The idea of using the stock hardline as a return is friggin brilliant! saves on tons of hose. Only thing that disappoints me is that the kit doesn't come with the weldless return bung for the tank.

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

I am using self-tapping screws and insulated hose clamps. I figure if the self tappers didn't work I could always install rivnuts later.

[@waynehepplewhite278]

Did you still use the in tank hose on the rivnut bung for you return line in tank?

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

We did not use the in-tank hose. Not using the hose means we can get some cavitation due to the fuel dumping in and down, but so far there haven't been any issues.

[@waynehepplewhite278]

Thanks. Your video is great source of information. I am looking at modifying my 69 Mustang.

[@towbar2]

Thanks for your clarity. I am still a bit baffled with exactly how to hook up the line to the exit side of the fuel pump. I'm installing the complete ACES system on my roller 318/A523 in my '38 Dodge. The fittings on the flow side of the pump confuse me.

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

If your using the Aces pump mine came with an additional fitting on it. It is a check valve, but is not used in this application. If you pull that off you should be able to connect the exit side. Best of luck with the build.

[@daltonnelson8024]

What kind of linkage setup did you use for the throttle?

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

The linkage is a combination of the factory brackets and a Lokar adjustable end.

[@daltonnelson8024]

Thank you! Awesome videos and very informative!

What?

[@samanthasfrugallife]

😮Do you do side work?

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

I do. Feel free to DM me.

[@lucasetcheson5455]

Im having a similar issue with my killshot Where you able to locate the issue? I have to feather the throttle for it to start or it will crank and crank

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

For us the biggest issue was switching to the stock cam setting. Then we had the O2 sensor failed. So far so good since then.

[@lucasetcheson5455]

@@DrivingForwardBuilds I have mine on mild cam, I'm running a pretty good size BTR cam, Guess I'll switch to stock to see how it reacts Thanks for the advice

[@lucasetcheson5455]

@@DrivingForwardBuilds maybe I misunderstood you, did you mean switching back to stock cam settings you had better results or you switch to stock cam settings and you had problems?

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

@@lucasetcheson5455 We have a mild (or so we thought) cam in the car. On the Mild Cam settings in the programmer, it was overfueling bad. Switching it to the "stock" cam settings seemed to work for us.
