TPI manifolds for cheap

[KANE]

Interested in putting TPI on your C3 vette? I was on Ebay and I found a lot of parts and accessories for TPI systems.

I know its kinda long to copy/paste..... but TPI manifolds complete are running for around $300 dollars. Not too bad.

I would put TPI on EVERY old car I will ever buy. Even if it meant pulling the motor in say.... a newly purchased 280Z and putting a 350 in it! A 350Z retro!

Again, if you want to see Do-It-Yourself Car Crafting please don't hesitate to view my site on my profile.

69MyWay has TPI, or is it another form of fuel injection, on his big block 69. See his site.

I have just rebuilt my engine into a 383 stroker with Dart 200 heads, what would I have to do to go the TPI route? I am a bit tires of the Holley carb system. I also have an MSD6AL would I keep that or get rid of it.

I have a 72 Vette, ZZ3 crate motor, Chevy TPI, MSD 6AL ignition along with MSD Blaster 2 coil. Engine has alot of horsepower, 375 HP documented. Tuned port injection is the way to go, it's just more complicated to adjust properly. Suggest anyone wanting to install this option check web sites specializing in TPI installations for direction. Installing TPI requires purchasing the necessary wiring harness (Painless), on-board computer, sensors, intake manifold, runners and throttle body. Kits are available on through the internet along with installation instructions.

It can be done, but you are going to need a modified system with bigger runners, throttle body, injectors etc.

You may better benefit from a complete aftermarket system from one of the many producers.

I am running the Edelbrock Pro Flo EFI on my 69. You can argue for or against it in many ways. The overall operating system is simple and requires NO additional tools/hardward/computer/lap top systems to adjust, calibrate, etc. You can make real time adjustments to fuel, timing, etc.

On the down side, it is limited to the overall adjustments you can make unlike the Holley Commander style systems and others on the market.

I have some small bugs in the Pro Flo system, but nothing major, and nothing I won't work out with a few more miles of trial and error testing.

You will find the same to be true on anything you put together.

The good news is there is plenty of room behind the passenger dash for the computer, an electric fuel pump is easy to mount and wire into place, and the rest is plug and play.
