tbi only came in 2 barrel. Your local vatozone will have an adapter plate on the shelf if you're so inclined to go that way.

And if they don't it looks like there's a guy that makes fancy ones over on binder planet.

Got to get them apple bins out of the orchard somehow.....

That and the binderplanet FAQ on TBI swaps is considered one of the best on the net no matter the engine.

I have a whole Affordable Fuel Injection kit that would be perfect for you, adapter plate and all. I got it from Jimmy her on PP: http://www.peakputters.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2992

I sold the Chevy and no longer have any use for it.

Dale, Bill Hamilton seems to be a moderate genius when it comes to FI. I think he's figured out stuff the factories missed :wink:


Paul, who's that aimed at, me or Dale? You're tempting me, except for the fact I have a 727 to get rebuilt :(

The chip for the kit that Paul has is tuned for a small block engine with a stockish cam profile. It worked on my 304 well enough, but the cam was a little too lump and the associated vacuum drop caused it to act a little strange in "stall saver" mode. With a stock or very mild cam and a nice tight engine with no vacuum leaks, this kit is boobs/beer. . .goooooood. 8)

You're basing the term "small block" on displacement, right :mrgreen:

I would suspect this setup would actually work well for a bigger CI engine that runs a lower RPM range. Vacuum would be higher, and peak air flow requirements would be similar. These kits dont care what RPM you are running.

Well, if'n I can talk the boss into it, it'll be on a Binder 345 that runs out of air at around 4K. Only will swallow about 400cfm max...
