Custom 68 and to all that are looking to go the FI way, one of the best things to help you figuring out problems would be a scanner that will actually show you what the readings are. With out this it is a hipshot about fixing things and could cost you way more money in the long run. Reading what code that has been set is not always the item to replace. Back in the mid eighties I went through all the GM training on Fuel Injection and I used to watch guys pull a code (O2 Sensor Code) and the first think they would do is replace the the O2 sensor and take a short ride and no codes would reset. A week later the car was back again with the O2 sensor code again. If you look at all the sensors from a known good setup and verify against a bad setup you will get to know where the settings should read and thus better troubleshoot the problem instead of throwing money at and getting frusted because you just spent $600 replacing all kinds of parts guessing what was gonna fix it, when the problem was only a vacuum leak that could have been easily fixed for $2.00 which is what caused the O2 sensor code from running lean.
