TBI conversion '82 GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was attempting to gather all the parts to go Tune Port, and got offered a complete TBI setup for free, so i took it, i have the harness, manifold, throttle body(w/injectors) and most of the sensors already, going back tomorrow to pull the computer...
now here is my question;
Can i use my bulkhead connector? or do i need fuse box and all from the donor truck? its an '87 K10, my truck is an '82 C1500.
thanks
Daniel

You'll need the heads too. 87+ the bolt angle from the intake into the heads is different.
Not sure about the bulkhead or fuse box.

im gonna use my heads and do a little die grinder magic in the intake, ive made it work the other way so no reason it wont work this way.

Since you have a donor truck you can probably just look on it, but if you need any pictures of anything let me know.
