Nice, good to know. Altho, the Camaro cable appears to be discontinued thru aftermarket suppliers now. Which brings up a good point, when hunting down a TPI intake for a conversion, try to get one that is complete as possible. TPI manifolds have alot of specific pieces and if you have to buy missing things, it adds up. The manifold I used was a $50 CL find, but was missing little things like the bolts, throttle cable bracket, TPS, T-stat neck. Ended up costing me another $50-60 bucks buying the little pieces to make it complete.

Yes, there is quite a difference. For stock or mildly modified engines, stick with the stock injector sizes.
305 use 19 lb/hr injectors
350 use 22 lb/hr injectors
You can recondition used injectors like I did, however for peace of mind ebay is a good source of new injectors. Many of them are F@rd take off and new ones, same style injector as stock TPI ones tho.
The tune can be a complicated aspect of this swap. If you are converting the stock truck or a built up engine, you're going to have to tune it, no question.
