what is the difference between the Howel EFI for the 455 and the 403?
Is it more than programming?

Thanks

If you select only what Howell supplies, you will not see improvement .
Our complete unit comes with Electronic distributor and harness to it and
also the Knock sensor, And the ECM that has the Flash

Cool I'm looking at buying a used system but it's for the 403 and I have a 455. Maybe it's worth it?

Maybe worth it. Does it have the EBL add on? Is it set up for the computer controlled distributor?

Keith, as someone who has installed several Howell systems, both EBL and
non-EBL varieties, there is such a vast improvement with the EBL system,
that my advice would be to pass up the Howell system if it does not have
the EBL.
Differences are ignition timing control and infinite tunability via
laptop. Lots of really, really knowledgeable people out there to help you,
including Jim K.
But, I know the low price is very attractive when comparing new vs used,
but this is one of those when you get what you pay for. But I can't spend
your money, only help you with decision making.

I thought the howell system is basically a base system of the EBL. you can swap out the EBL and had the harness wires for the other features of the EBL?

don't they mainly use a holly TBI unit, and it is just a harness that would have the different add-ons such as knock sensor, and distributor control added in?

so if he can get a howell system at a good price, he can jump up to an ebl system from there fairly easy? I know keith has the ability to add wires to a harness- I have seen his air system he makes as well as his rat rod.

You're correct, Jon. He can send his 1227747 ECM to DynamicEFI and have it modified to add the EBL. Then buy a pin crimp tool for the ECM connectors and add harness conductors for spark control per the standard 1227747 GM ECM. Then get a base 403 or 455 BIN from the GMCMH-EFI site and flash it.

Might be easier to find a TB and harness and have DynamicEFI provide the ECM with EBL.

There were some fuel pressure issues with some Howell TBs... Best to check/ask the GMCMH-EFI site for info.

I'm not familiar with how Howell modifies the programming chip in the 1227747. I'm guessing they solder in a chip adapter and burn a custom chip. You may be able to have them reprogram it for your engine if you don't want to go the EBL route.

In the "good price" calculation, one should remember the $350 for the EBL
and the cost of adding the additional wiring and sensors and computer
controlled distributor.

EBL is $400 if you send them an ECU, but they will sell you already with RBL for $450, seems like a deal to me.
Looking at the little bit of the board they show it's got some big chips on it. I'd bet theres a processor, memory and a whole lotta magic smoke

Out of the three basic types of EFI systems, which are;
1. Throttle body only. (kind of like an electronically controlled
Carburetor. )
2. Rail injection, batch fired ( has fuel rails with an injector above
every intake valve).
This one is not sequentially fired, but fires some combination of injectors
at the same time)
3. Multi point injection. ( injectors mounted in various places, but ahead
of every intake valve for sure) Could have fuel rails, or not. True fuel
injection, individual cylinders fired separately. Does a great job of fuel
distribution, ( except when an injector goes bad, then you have one lean
cylinder amongst the rest.) This one will cook individual cylinders and
leave the rest unscathed.
4. There is one more, Direct cylinder injection. Not in use in our
applications. From the simple, to the complex. All have good and bad points.

You can add customizable digital (Windows PC) gauges for the EBL with WinLog-EBL. Download WinLog to see how the gauge creation software works, then download the EBL driver from the WinLog-EBL site. PM me for more info.
