 Can anyone out there point me in the right direction for these questions?
 
 1.  Other than the co$t/hassle of the MAF, are there any fatal flaws or
 drawbacks to the 1227165 from late 80's Camaro with TPI, for use in retrofit
 of EFI on to older (40's-50's) vehicles? 

-------In my opinion the 7730 computer from the 90-92 Camaro/Firebird provides
a cleaner tpi swap as you can install a K/N right on the front of the TB and
not have the worries  or ugliness of the MAF circuit

 2.  In considering both MPI and TBI approaches, are there "no-brainer" best
 choices for ECM's to use??      ECM's to stay away from??

-------If you spend enough time with any GM computer, they all work pretty
well...and the newer the better.........it just boils down to which one you
have the most data on...hth's

 3.  Also has there been a string (now in archives) relating to use of
 sensors from one mfg. with ECM of another mfg.???    Especially Ford or
 Mopar sensors (seem to be more available) with GM ECM's.  
 
 Thanks,
