[Diy_efi] Converting from Carburation to TBI

[Arby]

Dan,

We have a TBI 4bbl adapter on a 383 Chevy and it works just fine.  Its 
really not any different from adding a carb spacer.  I would try to find the 
proper manifold but don't beat yourself up over it if its hard to come by. 
An adapter will be ok.

Arby
