Re: Attention ALL TPI owners...inside please...
the vin aint gonna help, I know the car factory came with a 305 but i was told by the guy that a 350 was put in semi built with a mild cam. so I'm tring to see if hes crappin me or not. so far i hear i have to tear down engine and the heads will have numbers, and if i measure the bore in the piston walls that will tell me the block. cause i also cant see nothin on the back block of bellhousing. I just didnt know if there are any tricks to identifying these from just lookin at a certain thing on them. thanks

Re: Attention ALL TPI owners...inside please...
see if you can use a light and mirror to check the casting number on the block and run that on the net or call it in to your local GM dealer. Thats all i know....hope hat helps a little more.

You should be able to see the casting number on the drivers side of the block on the ledge below the distributor and above the oil filter casting.
Thanks,
Dave

Re: Attention ALL TPI owners...inside please...
can someone actually post a link that works. And in PDF format so we can actually read it? It's too hard to read them when they're jpegs.
thanks!

Re: Attention ALL TPI owners...inside please...
The article on TPI Tuning is unavailable to me even though I tried every way possible to access it. I went to POST # 60 was unable to retrieve it. Could you please POST it again here or send it to me at rande_always@hotmail.com
Thank you and have a Joyous and prosperous new year to you and yours.
Sincerely yours,
Robert

Re: Attention ALL TPI owners...inside please...
I have a 91 s10 with a 355. I just bought a 89 corvette tpi with computer and all the wires and plugs still in tact. I need injectors but not sure of what size or kind. I eventually want to put all this in my 48 chevy Fleetline. Is there anything else i'm going to need to make this work?

I think the Vette L98 used 24lb injectors. Those stock units were pretty well known to have problems with today's gas.

hello I'm new to the tpi world. I just bought an 89 iroc 5.0L with 55k miles on it in great shape. I am swapping out the injectors as I already had a 2 bad ones. Can I use the 5.7 injectors? I would like to make an extra 50 hp without losing the stock look.I already have done cat back exhaust. My list of todo's are: injectors,throtte body air foil, hot coil,k&n,egr valve, fuel pressure regulator(50psi)....anything else or do's or don't.I am gathering as much info as fast as I can would like to get this done asap. thanks much!
