You DO NOT want an '85 TPI...PERIOD!  The best bet is the early '86 
Corvette, Plug the enrichment injector hole, plug the left fuel rail 
connector to the enrichment injector, and install an '89 chip.

If you install the '89 system, the only changes required are to notch 
the two center manifold to head bolt holes to accomodate the different 
bolt angle that the aluminum head has versus the iron head (of course, 
you might consider late model aluminum Corvette heads if you have the 
coin).  The '89 chip is simply a better tune in addition to getting 
rid of the cold start injector.

Mike:  You want a TPI from a '85 or '86 Z28 Camaro, corvette, or trans 
am.

Those are the only cars that came with TPI, and pre-'87 will not
require you to modify the intake manifold.
