TBI Questions

[Tim Eldridge]

Hello,

    I'm new to the DIY_EFI mailing list. I am currently in my senior year at 
Purdue working on a BSEET degree.  My senior design project is to build a 
fuel injection system for my  '63 Corvair.  I thought a TBI system would be 
the easiest to install and operate. I plan on using  General Motors system 
possibly from the mid-eighties since I work at Delco Electronics in Kokomo, 
IN. My questions are:
 
Where can I find specifications for a GM system? Particularly for the 
injector, MAF sensor, O2 sensor and engine temp sensor. Also will a TBI unit 
from a 2.5 liter motor work? My Corvair is about 2.8 liter but is a six 
cylinder. Will using a MPU to drive the fuel injector using input from the 
MAF sensor be enough adequately control the air/fuel ratio or should I plan 
on developing and using a fuel map or other control system? Any input will 
be most appreciated maybe someday I will have answers instead of questions. 
If any fellow DE folks have contacts in the Kokomo area that could help, I 
can be reached at MS Fab B    X8105   

Many thanks in advance to any who take the time to respond. Sorry if these 
questions have been answered before.
