Re: Holley Pulls Plug on Hilborn Fuel Injection Brand



No wonder why my Comp Cams lifters failed! I didn't know Edelbrock owns Comp Cams. I installed a brand new AFB carb of theirs on my 440...wasn't working correct. Tore it down....9 out 11 adjustments from the factory was off...float levels, etc....those carbs work fine when they're set to factory specs but mine from the factory was A HUGE JOKE!

I'm not surprised at Holley's move to dump Hilborn. It's a sentimental favorite for the old-timers, I'm sure, but there can't be much of a market for it, and in a day where market share and margin is all that seems to matter to the conglomerates who've bought up different brands over the years, it's inevitable.  I fear the same fate is coming for Lunati Cams now that they were bought by Edelbrock, who also owns Comp Cams.  My guess is they bought it for the grinds, not the brand name.

If I may add a comment regarding the FiTech alternative, if I were to go that direction I would also consider the dual quad Holley Terminator-X system.  Having said that, I would never, ever recommend a Sniper unit. But it will cost you a beer (or two) to hear my rant regarding that entry-level product...

Anyway, if you have Facebook, here's a few links regarding Mopar EFI you might enjoy:

1) I installed a Terminator-X system on this '68 Barracuda

2) I tuned the Holley HP EFI system in this blown hemi Pro Street Road Runner

Have a good day,

Hi All,

In addition to Mopar Action apparently going out of business, Holley  has dumped the  Hilborn Fuel Injection brand.

https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/holley-pulls-plug-on-hilborn-fuel-injection-brand/

We recall these thus:

P.S., A guy I know has Fi-Tech six-pack EFI and he says it is much easier to dial in. It does not have the same eye appeal as the old Hilborn stacks though.

Thanks,
Gary H.
