efi specifics

[Al Lipper]

Todd,
	The MAP sensor can mount anywhere - it is connected by a vacuum hose.  The
TBI unit either needs a custom adapter plate if you use a junkyard TBI, or,
what might be easier is to get a Holley TBI unit and a holley to GM adapter
plate.  The TPS is part of the TBI unit.  Good luck.

	Al
