Name: El Gracho - Joe D.
Vehicle: 1984 Chevrolet K10 short fleetside 4x4 pickup
Engine: 350 small block V-8, vortec heads, somewhere around 300 hp
Drivetrain: TH700R4 overdrive automatic transmission, 3.73 gears, Detroit Truetrac rear differential
Injection: GM Performance Parts Ramjet 350 Intake, 22 lb/hr injectors
Ignition: 1969 GM points distibutor converted to electronic with a Crane XR-i module. - works great so far with standard MS 2.2 tach circuit
Supporting Components: Fuel sender from an 87 pickup to allow for an in-tank fuel pump, fuel pump from a 1989 Camaro to give ~45 psi, braided hose for fuel plumbing, RS-Autosport harness (excellent - recommended) with AC-Delco connectors, relay board, MS 2.2 board with LMB case and FP Express endplates (also highly recommended for a professional looking job).
Description: This truck has nearly 500k miles, 50k on this engine.

My truck fired after cranking for about 10 seconds on my initial attempt. I'm still working on the tune, but I consider this the fun part. I modified my code to use the fast idle relay for electric fan control and it works flawlessly.
I can't wait for MS-2 and IAC and ignition control!
Thanks to Bruce, Al, Lance, Eric F., Mike D., Colin G., Rodney S., Patrick C. for all of their time and effort and sharing it! Also, thanks to all the contributors to the mailing list/forums for all the great knowledge.
If anyone is reading this that hasn't already started their project, the best recommendation I can make is to read everything you can associated with MS and EFI. Everything you need to know is here somewhere, if you TRY and can't find it, we'll all help. The MS community rules!
