Re: Torn between Carb vs Holley Sniper
Does any OEM still produce factory TBI?

Re: Torn between Carb vs Holley Sniper
For what you want, a basic crate 350 with a Tuned-Port on top will do wonders. I have done several TPI conversions over the years. My '83 K20 went from 14 mpg to 17 going from the stock 350 to a stock '91 TPI 350. Turn the key and it starts, no cranking and cranking when the Q-jet leaks. And the difference in power is something you can feel. When towing I would hit the 4 bbl going up a hill. With TPI I just add a little pedal and it pulls on. Parts are available at any parts store in the country because it's factory GM. The TPI units can be had for like $200 or less now. Yes on the initial side it will cost more for injectors and a pump and wiring-but they run and run. Worth thinking about IMHO.
