General Overview

The "AutoDash" project is designed for my forever car project, a ratty muscle car 1972 Ford LTD Brougham.

The car:

The engine is a heavily modified 460, with a Holley Terminator ez-efi, Holley, electronic distributor, fuel pump, etc.

The Dash

The dash will replace the current speedo/bezel setup. It will be a two monitor setup, raspberry pi 4 with all the hats, GPS driven speedo and finally, an estimated Fuel Level based on the fuel flow rates since my screwed up my fuel sender and don't plan on fixing it anytime soon.

Features:

  • Parsing/Display data via CAN (Racepak protocol) from the Holley ECU.
  • Parsing a GPS for speed (MPH) and distance (miles odometer)
  • Parsing Fuel Flow to determine how many gallons I have left as well as a loose MPG reading (with the ability to reset it after fuel fillup)
  • Engine readouts like timing, temp, fuel mixture, etc and eventually a CO sensor for the cabin

Coming soon:

  • break down of components, proper setup guide, pictures, front end setup, etc...
