Gasser guys!Pete Jackson F.I. history?

[VAPHEAD]

A buddy has this pete Jackson injection set up.SBC
Man would this be cool pocking through the hood of a straight axle 55!
He said they didn't make very many of 'em.I don't know,any history buffs out there?What's the story?

[scrape]

ever see a pete jackson front drive distributor setup?

[Roothawg]

They did make em a few years. I know Ross, the guy with the Willys pickup, had an early set that he sold a few years back.

I remember those front drives.Wanted to put a 327 in my Mustang with one.
Never did see one in person.
That injection system is a really cool looking piece,TALL !
I think it's from 1970? Anyone have pictures of a race car with one on it?

I'm pretty sure there is something about them in one of the Hot Rod yearbooks from around 1970. I will try to remember to have a look at the weekend.

I have a Pete Jackson unit like that but no throtle plates or injectors. Its cool but a little crude compared to a hillborn or enderle, I think. Might turn mine into a lamp.

Hey raffman,
If you still have this unit, I would be interested in buying it. Let me know. Thanks.

Sold it back in June of this year.
It was cool for sure.
I just got a 283 out of a gasser...I'll post pic's later.

VAPHEAD,
Did you sell the unit raffman had, or the unit pictured above?

Pete Jackson, was the master mind, behind Enderle fuel injection in the early 60's, and yes he was Kong Jackson's brother. Hot Rod had an article on setting one of these up for street use, it was on a small block in a 57 chevy....Ed

Yep. It is from Hot Rod Yearbook #11 and didn't scan all that well as I couldn't get it very flat on the scanner.

I'll make up for that by posting a couple miore articles from Popular Hot Rodding Engine Annual (1969) when they put Jackson FI on Project X.

Here's the first PHR article ...

The second PHR article ...

Don't be sorry! That's the first time I've seen pics of a P.J. FI setup......... Thanks for bringing it back up!!

[jjordan]

Had one on a small-block road race car about 70-72. Never knew till now how rare they are (story of my life. I have discovered a bunch of rare parts......just after I sold them.) Was a very forgiving unit, didn't have to fiddle with it once it was set up.....or maybe I just didn't know any better.

[jimbob]

Thanks Simon. I have recently purchesed a Jackson set up, that article helps a lot.

[swade41]

here's one for sale here http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...ight=injection

Here's a set I'd bought from a E/G racer in '79. I restored and converted this set for alky. They're sweet, easy to work on and they run good.
