Thumbs up TBI swap is on the road

The "painless" kit is in and other than a minor bout of stupidity (thanks Carl) in took 4-1/2 hours this time. The '93 motor sounds great without the cat exhaust. The '95 tahoe tank took a 1/2" trim from the lower flange, but it got me a good pump swap. The front suspension is now out of an '82, cradle swap to my '70 frame involved only 2 new mount holes (thanks Terry).
This would have been a great 4 week truck project had some @ss not stolen my entire front clip, yea I'm still pissed.

I'll post pics sometime in the next week.

Scott...

Sweet...only 4-1/2 hours to install the harness?
TBI is a great induction system....dead reliable, and simple too!

tbi looks just like a carb in my opinion.
so basically you have a new truck underneath an old truck?
