Re: Injector short?

A shorted injector is a reasonable guess.

The bucking was among the symptoms my car gave me.

Re: Help: S-D TPI barely starts, runs poorly, stalls as soon as I touch throttle

Yep. It's an injector problem.

Re: A.I.R tube fabrication before engine swap! Help!

If you order p/n 02460 you will get them with the air tubes already welded in.

You will still have to deal with the fabrication of the rest of the exhaust however.

When you say module, precisely what are you referring to?

This is not the large cap HEI. The small cap HEI seems to operate via Hall Effect or some such thing.
