[Diy_efi] Finding a suitable TBFI model...

Paul,  in the GM lineup, the earlier 2.2 liter would also be TBI --  
If those designs don't strike your fancy, I'd suggest the Mopar 2.2 /
2.5 liter, some were TBI.  Again, 100 horsepower is a modest design
goal, but I'm trying to keep your TB in check with the displacement of
your engine.

Also, Toyota had some 1.6 / 1.8 liters back in the 80's, although i
believe they were MFI -- check the emissions labels out while your at
the scrapyard, it'll tell you what type of FI is on the engine!
