	What is your project? Retro fitting efi to older vehicle is mainly
modifying wire harness, re plumbing fuel system. This assumes that efi
bolts right on to older eng - example tpi on to small block chevy. Setup
will generally run pretty good without tweaking prom valves. Of course if
ya want more ... ya will needed to adjust valves in prom.

Mike Knells book " how to install tpi/tbi" highly {title is from memory}.
