The brown one. That looks like it would be for the cold start injector... I think. Something maf cars had, not map. I think you could remove it.

Yep, cap, youre right, just another thing to figure out. Hope it fits without any mods. I could have run in bank to bank, with the msd distri., but the motor will be better off with sequential timing

Thanks dale, i might use that port for the ground on my electric water pump, better control on the on/off cycle

Had some time to go back and work on the pcv, still have to install oem diffuser in the valve cover

Air in off of TB will be made out of a aluminum tubing

You are correct, it is the cold start injector sensor. They came on 85-88 cars. 89-92 the function was integrated into the ECM. With your setup you can just take it out and put a pipe plug in the hole.

Perfect, now i can run my extra sending unit there for the electric water pump, and still keep the other sending unit in the drivers side head for my water temp. gauge

Its even a 1/2" NPT!!

Diffuser mounted into the valve cover

building that tpi looks like a lot of work. im sure theres a few head aches too. I was thinking of that route but now not so much. makes a carb sound so much better. lol

I always wanted a tpi car once I saw them. I finally have one, and holy crap is it a pita to work on. Partly cause all my aftermarket parts, but some is just a pain anyway.

Ive always enjoyed the mechanical challenges, so far just a plug and play, but i will probably jinx myself with that statement. What i hated was the rust repair, and i still have to goback and repair some of my shoddy work

Carbs are easy, but i couldnt make them work with remote start, or steep angles off road. Maybe by adjusting my fuel pressure down, but that didnt solve the romote start problem

Plus, the cool factor....someday englese eight stack

Thanks to guys like dale, ive gotten past the humps

Wouldve been easier without the vortec heads, and stock valve covers could save some work....although problems with the oem distri. would still have to be addressed

[jaros44sr]

Finally got the ECU installed where i want it, just some fine tuning. Final plans are to drill and tap(1/4-28) the heater control panel mounting tabs

Still have to change angle of the mount a bit, plus add some sorta support to the heater box. Probably a bolt, spacer, and a nutsert

Power cable is run to the battery

Ha. Ive never touched one tell this jimmy. Makes no effing sense to me and I cant figure it out.

I would have rather seen how far I could toss the sob then dealing with it.
