TPI done....It Runs!!!

Finally finished up the TPI install today....and it actually runs! Pretty well in fact

I started it July 4th weekend and worked on it on and off. Installing the in tank fuel pump and plumbing the lines was probably the worst of it. I made LOTS of trips to the local parts stores for all sorts of little bits and pieces. If I ever do this again I'm buying a trashed Z28 or TransAm and pulling the whole thing myself. I got about a 90% complete system off of an '87 Trans Am but it was a 305 so I ended up swapping in bigger injectors and getting the chip reprogrammed. The chip still needs some tweaking (idles way too high) and I need to clean up some wiring but it works!! The throttle response is awesome.

Here are some pics of it and the Tanks Inc. fuel pump.
