[Diy_efi] Finding a suitable TBFI model...

[Fehn, Ron G]

check holley web site.  maybe you could gets specs on HP considerations
and use that(Holley spec) as a cross reference to GM size of TB and
injectors.  GM injectors size are present on many web sites. as you are
aware you need to fuel on top as well as have a suitable BPW to idle.
so injector size is important consideration.  proper TB CFM might we
easier to determine

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!
