Retrofitting EFI on an old Buick

[Kevin Wright]

I know that they didn't change them much, if any, initially. I once 
examined a late 60s Triumph Stag that had been converted to Rover V8, 
and the owner had chucked the early fuel-injection (Bosch?) and 
bolted on an Edelbrock intake intended for the Buick/Olds 215, along 
with a Rochester carb.
Later models may be different. Surely British hot-rodders would know 
- the Rover's their stand-in for a small-block Chevy.
