From my experience the holley (digital version) projection is corky..

The name skips my mind right now but a company builds TBI units using OEM gm parts. I have done a couple over the years with great luck. Your at the stage right now where we won't have to change much of anything to run a system like that.

Which is exactly why I am considering this option vs fixing a carb to change it out later..

Affordable fuel injection. Basic stuff as Howell but much more reasonably priced.

That's the company I was thinking of. I just couldn't remember the name. :awesomework:

Jimdiddy did one on a jeep not to long ago and it ran good.

edit:
100$ cheaper if you already have electronic ignition. I've been following since the beginning but I can't remember what disty your running and I'm not digging through all this to check and see. :haha:

That is who I got my last system from.
This is right in between the price of the Avenger and the other TBI system, plus it includes the fuel pump, and distributor....

I have a box sitting here waiting to go on the new motor in the jeep. Clean looking kit and good instructions. They even tweaked my distributer to work with the computer.

Damn i picked the right belt lengths the first time. Using a 3/8" rope is the perfect size for getting a belt length

That thing has more miles than choppy!

This shouldn't even be a question. Do the fuel injection now and never look back. Carbs are the devil

Looks kinda like the motor that was rebuilt, but wasn't.

They could have at least hit the carb with a can of CRC though!

Ordered but it may be 1-2 weeks.

I don't feel as bad replacing that carb knowing that it was used. I was pretty sure that we had a new intake and carb on that, but obviously, it was not.

I ordered with the distributor, just to be on the safe side.

I know you figured out the lower hose, but I JUST found the kit.

Ordered

Thats ok--I can't return the hose though since it was a piece of a larger hose to get the right one.

The box of hoses arrived today.
Upper and lower radiator hose, 2 heater hoses and fuel line and vacuum line.

The rubber parts that you already put on (sorry) are going to be perfect backups!

Gibby1 · Apr 11, 2015

You should have some presents showing up very soon. I believe the seats should be here Monday and the TBI system later this week.

I have not shipped the hoses yet, I was thinking I had more coming but that got shipped to you directly.
