[DeTomaso] IR EFI experience - Not sure if original post made it so resending

Hi!
I bought a complete low profile IR-EFI setup from Kelly Koffield exept the
engine management and fuel pumps.
Got it delivered with throttle bodies, fuel rails, linkage and air filters.
Have installed it on #9261 with Pectel SQ6 engine management system.
Have pictures I can send.

more units of his system?

I don't think so.  However, Kelly does have enough parts to put one more
system together.
Lynn is interested in purchasing that system.

While Kelly did sell the intakes to those who wanted to piece together their
own system, he also sold assembled induction set ups that included the
intake manifold, throttle plates, stacks, air cleaners, fuel rails, vacuum
plenum, bellcrank and linkage.  That is the set up that he sold to me.  The
user still has to supply the computer, injectors, trigger wheel, fuel pump,
sensors etc.

Kelly's set up has the injectors mounted in bungs in the intake runners with
the fuel rails on the outside and uses low profile throttle plates so it can
fit under the stock decklid and engine screen.  Mike used Kelly's intake
manifold but with taller TWM throttle bodies with injectors mounted in the
throttle bodies. He runs the fuel rails on the inside of the throttle
bodies.
The TWM throttle bodies are taller than throttle plates so require notching
of the decklid and engine screen.  Lynn is interested in the low profile set
up that fits under the stock decklid and engine screen.  Both Kelly and Mike
use bellcranks to give the desired non-linear throttle motion.
