AMC 401 electronic fuel injection



Thanks to all the many responses I got on this subject. 
Now I need to make some decisions whether I want to learn 
how to install and program my own injection system assembled 
from various components or buy an off the shelf setup.  I am 
thinking it might be smart to start a fresh engine with a proven 
carburetor and after the cam break-in period switch over to the
injection setup. I don't think it wise to play with injection while
trying to do the initial engine break-in that is so important. I found
an old Iskenderian catalog that states immediately after firing up the
new engine to run the revs up to 2500 to 3000 for some time more 
than just a few minutes, ( can't remember right now how long it said) to
break in the new cam. Do all of you agree with that? I have also talked
with people who say don't attempt to break-in a new engine with 
synthetic lubricants because they are so slippery that the rings may
never seat. Any one had experience with that one?

Thanks all,


Armand
