Another New Guy

[Michael J. Kupec]

Paul,

Welcome to the list!

If you want some info on GM TBI's check out Howell's web page
(http://www.howell-efi.com). They have some "over priced" (IMHO) conversion
kits for just about everything. It'll give you an idea of what some
entrepreneurs have done in th EFI business.  I'm sure with some research at
the local library on GM TBI's, you can find a way to adapt the GM TBI to
just about anything yourself. Probably the hardest part will be
re-programming the ECU for the differences in the engine. Howell gets away
with this by having you list everything you have on your
engine/tranny/rearend. Then they reset the fuel maps to match your setup.
