I can't figure out what EFI I have and what Program to use! Help!
So me and my father bought a car, and they guy wasn't sure what was in it (We think right now it's a 383 stroker) and it has an EFI, but I can't figure out what EFI it is so that I can get the correct program to hook it up to my computer.
All I know is that it has an ATEN serial to USB port and I already have the driver's for that, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I already looked around the whole unit and couldn't really see any badges on it.

ECM is located above the passengers feet under the dash.

It's not the stock unit, I'm fairly sure about that.

It still could be an OEM '8746 ECM even with four low impedence injectors. We have worked with the GM TBI ECM/PCM computers for over 15 years and have successfully connected those computers to dual 2-bbl TBI's and these Holley 4-bbl units.
The key to making them work is to wire a pair of injectors in series. The drivers in the ECM will work just fine in this configuration. It is recommended that the "pairing" be crisscrossed, i.e.: LF inj in series with the RR inj, and RF inj in series with the LR inj. Somehow the fuel distribution is better this way. I have tried it with crisscrossed and without ... it does operate better with it configured in a crisscross arrangement.
Hope this helps!

Hey RBob, are the older style Holley injectors capable of use without ECM Mods?
I have one here that came off a built 440 engine and aftermarket (GM) complete system. It never did run well until we put a BB TBI unit on it.

Note that the ones the OP posted pics of are the good Delphi injectors.

That's why I asked, the ones I have are the round top and thought you may have figured out how to use or modify them for use as an injector! I figured they would have been good fishing sinkers... Guess I have a good four barrel throttle body for MPFI!
