I used a setup from a 91 Buick roadmaster with a TBI 305. It's the setup as what GM Performance Parts sells for like $800. I paid about $100 plus $100 for shipping. First off, it's a great swap. It may not look the best, but it looks at least as good as the factory setup. The best part is no more replacing alternator belts all the time and to fix any one component all you have to do is remove the belt and that one part.

Also those full size late-eighties/early 90s cars are usully not as stripped in the yards as pickups or f bodies...
