Have you added TPI from a donor car? Is it a good thing? What should you expect to gain. Is it better to stick with carb untill you can afford an aftermarket one?
Thanks

I will let you know if it is in a few months when I get mine all in and running right.

Until then you can email me at Schulzautomotive@Hotmail.com

That all depends, how do you feel about easy cold starts? Good throttle response with improved performance? Better mileage? More torque at the bottom end? And a bit of envy when people look under the hood? Yeah, it's alot of work getting all the sensors and switches set up, but heck, so is everything else you do.
