Re: Tbi swap build thread

I just thought of something that I haven't seen much mention of (if any) on this thread.

If you are installing TBI with the idea that your truck should keep running at high angles, you should consider making sure that your system will shut off in a roll-over.

With a fuel surge tank system installed, like an am doing, there is every possibility that there will be enough fuel in the surge tank to keep it running upside down!

My solution is to install a mercury switch that cuts power to the TBI system if I reach an angle of more than 90 degrees. My TBI ignition system is powered by a single HD relay, so I will just put it between the ignition source and the relay.

I'll have to experiment to make sure that a hard bump or bounce doesn't cause the TBI to turn off.

Lets hear it if you have other ideas.
