No, I'm not realy set on TBI, TPI would be fine too.  What I am set on
is FI.

It'll bolt up to a modern small block oldsmobile V8 (307, 350, or 403).
It will not bolt up to a modern big block oldsmobile V8 (400, 455).

If I can find one, I'll go TPI, if I can't, I'll get an adaptor plate, a
nice aluminum after market intake and go TBI.

Many Thanks,
Dan
