Getting wet feet....junkyard TBI

[Bob Valentine]

Assuming you want the large-cap HEI 7-pin EST module, it can be found in
anything with ECM controlled spark, '80's compu-carb included.   85 Olds
Delta 88, 5.0l Vin Y or Vin 9 engine will work at the parts desk.

Contact me off-list if you need the connectors to go along with it.
