That was then.\u00a0 The reality is, EFI isn\u2019t that difficult and with the entry-level EFI setups out there, installation, setup, operation and reasonable cost might be a whole bunch easier than once imagined.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;One of the easiest setups to deal with is MSD\u2019s Atomic EFI.\u00a0 With MSD\u2019s Atomic EFI Master Kit (Part Number 2900), you get pretty much everything needed to convert your car or light truck from a carburetor to fuel injection.\u00a0 MSD includes the throttle body, a power module (complete with a wide band oxygen sensor), fuel pump, filter, a handheld controller and all of the necessary small parts.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;According to MSD, \u201cthe Atomic Throttle Body Injection system is the easiest way to convert your classic car to EFI. As far as performance, the advanced self-learning technology of the Atomic is constantly monitoring and analyzing the engine\u2019s operating conditions ensuring that you receive the best possible driveability. With the ECU and built-in sensors integrated into the throttle body, the Atomic has fewer wiring connections than any other system, plus there is no bulky ECU to mount. This design makes the conversion to EFI much easier to install and program while keeping things clean under the hood.\u201d&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;What you get with the Atomic EFI is great performance and superior drivability.\u00a0 Your car will start quicker, have a smoother idle and it will have great throttle response.\u00a0 In addition, the MSD system is designed so that it is easily integrated with a conventional MSD ignition box.\u00a0 It allows you to control initial timing by way of a small handheld monitor (this can be removed once the car is running or you can leave it in place allowing you to monitor engine parameters in real time).\u00a0 For integrated timing using an MSD ignition system an adjustable rotor is needed to correct rotor phasing (MSD part number 84211 for most MSD Distributor applications).\u00a0 And believe it or not, the system can actually operate with an old-fashioned point trigger ignition!&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;That answers the benefits part of the equation, but how many pieces are there and are they difficult to hook up?\u00a0 Let\u2019s start at the top:&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;There are three main components of the Atomic TBI; the Throttle Body, the Power Module and the Handheld Monitor. The brains of the system or the ECU is built right into the passenger side of the throttle body and there are also several sensors built right into the unit including the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP), Intake Air Temperature (IAT) and the Fuel Pressure Sensor.\u00a0 What this means is you don\u2019t have to mount those sensors or hook them up.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;The throttle body is designed so that it bolts right up to a common square bore (Holley 4150 style) intake manifold pattern. It\u2019s also shaped so that an equally common dropped base carburetor air cleaner fits right over the top.\u00a0 On the driver\u2019s side, the throttle bracket will accept all normal cables; return springs and transmission control cables.\u00a0 You just have to remove the various bits from your carburetor and transfer them over.\u00a0 There are no external fuel rails.\u00a0 MSD incorporates internal passages within the throttle body to supply fuel to the four integral injectors. Externally, you simply have to hook up the supply line (from the fuel pump).\u00a0 MSD provides you with a choice of a -6 AN hookup or a barb fitting hookup for the fuel line on the throttle body.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;The Power Module of the Atomic EFI is simply the communication hub of the system.\u00a0 What it does is to provide the high current fuel pump circuit and other input\/outputs for optional features. It is equipped with two ports for the MSD \u201cCAN System\u201d as well as a wiring harness. There are connections for the wide band oxygen sensor, the special handheld control module as well as power and communication to the throttle body.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;The Handheld Control Module\u00a0 (which simply plugs into the Control Module) is what you use to set up the EFI system for your car. You use a basic joystick device for initial (and later advanced) setup.\u00a0 For initial setup, you enter your engine displacement, number of cylinders, camshaft specs (based upon duration at 0.050-inch tappet lift), fuel pump type, target idle RPM and finally, you must select if you want the ECU to control the ignition timing or if you want it to function with a standard \u201cyou set it\u201d ignition timing arrangement.\u00a0 After the initial setup selections are answered and the engine is running the hand held control can be removed or left connected. When it is connected, there is a \u201cDash and Gauges\u201d screen that shows engine parameters in real time.\u00a0 Cool.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;After the basic setup is established, the Atomic EFI system will do everything else for you.\u00a0 MSD explains:\u00a0 \u201cIt is a self-tuning EFI system that continuously adjusts after the basic configuration is complete. There is no laptop programming. Based upon the engine descriptors that you input during the initial setup, the Atomic will automatically create a base fuel map to get the engine running. Once the system is started the self-learning technology will optimize those maps resulting in the best performance possible. If you drive through altitude changes, temperature swings or other factors the Atomic will adjust accordingly, on the fly. This ensures that your engine will produce excellent drivability at all times, even from the sunny coast to the cool mountains.\u201d&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;At this point, we\u2019ll wrap up this segment.
