Firmware says it’s a 2016, first one made.
Computers ruin everything. Worth more with the original engine.
Being a purist, I have to agree with Bob.
On the other hand, if you’re restomodding it, then yes, fuel injection is the only way to go.
Would the serial # 00000001 be more valuable unused, or would it bring that much more value to the Rocket 88 on a retrofit used?
Personally, I would keep the #1 and buy another for the car…
I’m trying to figure out if I truly have the first one made, or is it just a flaw in the firmware.
Olds pushrod introduction.
What generation the engine? Original, or need I ask?
Fuel injectors?
1955 original. But we’re changing the carb out so that I can drive it reliably.
Understandable, a 12 volt conversion with an HEI system might also be a good idea too.
Just be sure to keep all the original parts.
Nothing unreliable about carbs. I’ve rebuilt hundreds of them.
The purpose of fuel injection is efficiency. Towards that end an electronic ignition is probably a better investment as Kevin said. Mechanical wear and subsequent timing degradation condemned distributor systems to the COP (coil on plug) systems that are prevalent today. The Kensington ignition system had a good run though; lasted quite a few years.
