Small-block Hillborn injection system

[John Fitzpatrick]

I'm curious if anyone knows how well these worked? I've heard the Lucas systems of the same vintage didn't.

The mans description says it all: Throttle response takes some getting used to. That said they can be set up so that they are 'sort' of streetable by attention to linkage so that it opens at a variable rate by 'snail cam' thottle cable setup. Wont win any emission tests or economy runs and needs to be adjusted for altitude change etc. Pump wear must be kept to a min with good filters etc as mixture is controlled by pump speed/volume / and a 'bleed' pill that sends fuel back to tank or header. ( Bigger pill= leaner--- Smaller=richer--- Higher pump speed for richer @ top end etc ) Makes you put your thinking cap on with the pill size if you have been a carb guy.

Yes- I am also interested. It is one thing with the old mechanical system. I strongly believe that a Hilborn with a modern EFI mapped system would work much better. The question is how much better and how good into comparison eg. to a TWM throttlebody+manifold?
