I presently own a 79 fiat spider that I would like to convert to tbi =
(from an 85 4 cylinder chevy cavalier). i have a 1.8 liter engine in the =
fiat, the chevy is a 2 liter engine. does this year tbi operate in open =
and closed loop mode. what sensors would i have to include, which could =
i ignore. i understand that the chevy injector works mainly off the =
distributor to know when to supply fuel, using the throttle position, =
engine temp and maf sensor to determine how much fuel to inject. am i =
out of my mind or is this a (with some work) doable project.

enjoy this forum, even if i need a ladder for some of the discussions, =
as they are over top of my head.
