TPS and RPM only?

[George M. Dailey]

The TBI systems can be had as follows:

ECM $70.00 salvage / $85 rebuilt
Throttle body $65 salvage
harnes connectors usally free with salvage yard ecms
fuel pump $30 salvage \ $65 new
wire to make custom harnes $35 tops (for streached Limo harness)
Steel tubing for fuel lines $5/five feet new
high pressure fuel lines / connectors $5/hose salvage

Well, I stand corrected Dave. A little over $200 bucks. Open your pocket book!
