Aces Killshot Fusion EFI Swap

[85_Ranger4x4]

You. Bought an integrated ecm.

I went back and forth on that hard. Holley has it integrated too and is pretty much the go-to in the industry. The II version seems to handle the RFI from a front mounted distributor fine and ACES has their ECM mounted on the side which should help too.

Having the ECM in the TB puts it in the middle so everything flows to the middle of the engine bay.

Also for heating, they have the fuel return running behind it which I think would drastically help with keeping it cool.

For a issue on the road... I kinda think throwing the Edelbrock and a $70 HEI dizzy in a case would be about as good as anything.

So is possible heating of the ECM (which with the fuel flow may or may not run cooler than the remote one anyway) more likely to cause an issue than 3x the wiring snaked all over the engine bay?

I dunno, I kind of ended up looking at like HEI vs Duraspark. Both systems are great but one has a lot more wiring to get damaged or compromised and one has pretty much everything important sealed and mounted high up on the engine.

You voluntarily installed the fuel filter where you would have to crawl under the vehicle to service it?

You are supposed to service them?

Yes. Every time you're having performance issues and come on the forum asking what to do. When we reply "How is your fuel pressure and when did you last change filter?"
