    Wayne;NO,I have never tuned one myself but I have crewed on a couple of mechanical injected race cars!Basically the return is what leans or richens the mixture,lean=more fuel going back,rich=less fuel going back to the tank.The nozzle size comes into play also but I'm not sure where you would start size wise!! I can contact a couple of friends that run injected race cars and get some pointers for you!! ROY.

    Hey Roy ... thanks. I wish I could afford to power it. When it's completed as a tin'd roller it's off to a new owner & I'll be back on my daily.

    Just bought a 65 Fairlane last week. Thinking about putting a front axle on it as well.
    I have a 64 with an axle.

    Wayne;any new news on the Fairlane?My buddy said the best bet on your fuel injection would be to contact the original manufacturer as to routing the various parts! ROY.
