Are TBI and TPI distributors the same?!
I need to know if a TBI distributor will work with a MAF TPI setup or vice-versa.

Thanks,

MILT

I believe the TPI distributors are smaller so they fit behind the plenum but I could be wrong.

I think that TPI engines got distributors with an in-cap coil, but other than that i believe the rest of the distributor is the same as the one in our cars.

Man! Sure is a lot of confusion on that issue! It's just as Tim put it, they're all the same from around '87 on up.
