my question is about fuel lines. i have an 88 305 tbi with a serpentine belt system. the tpi unit i picked up was from an 87. i dont know if it was from a serpentine belt system or not. the fuel lines on the tpi unit come out underneath the throttle body. is that were its supposed to come out at for a serpentine belt system. the reason i ask is because i have that the fuel lines are routed differently for the different belt systems.

From what I understand, the Camaro TPIs fuel lines came out the driver's side below the throttle body. The 85-86 Camaro Iroc Z were a combo of Serpentine and V belt. They have unique brackets for power accessories. I believe the Corvette TPIs came out the opposite side.

I've got a 92 TPI. Mine come out right under the throttle body, then turn hard and go behind the alternator (drivers side), then back down toward the body.

Did that answer your question?

yes that did answer my question. thank you very much. i feel better now. because i thought i would have to fab up some fuel lines or something. because i have an 87 system going on an 88 car with serpentine belt system.
