EBL and MAP sensor install
Okay, I have been reading up on the EBL from dynamicefi.com and have chatted a little bit with Bob as well. After everything is set up it seems this is the easier one to work with for tuning. Now I do know that the plugs for the ecm need to be repinned but want I am wanting to know from the ones that have done it, how do you hook up the MAP sensor for a car that doesn't currently have one? My can is an 89 firebird formula 350 TPI with the MAF sensor. With hooking up the EBL, it make the car a speed density system so I wont use the MAF anymore but have to install the MAP. Any help from anyone is greatly appreciated. I dont have the EBL yet, just looking to the future. If this isn't in the right forum please move it, figured this would be a good place to start since it has to do with the EBL and tunning for the car.

Re: EBL and MAP sensor install
The MAP install is really easy. As said above, there is repinning done to be able to use 3 wires from the MAF. It was like a 20min job for me to get my harness ready, hardest part was finding out how to get the pins out at the ecm(there is a guide on his site to help). But once you get the first one it goes by MUCH quicker.

Re: EBL and MAP sensor install
To add some info on the MAP itself, the cowl mount, sensor, pigtail, and a vacuum line can be found on the following f-body's:
'88 - '92 TBI Camaro & Firebird
'90 - '92 MPFI 3.1L Camaro & Firebird
The '90 - '92 TPI Camaro & Firebird also have a MAP set up. These are mounted on the engine. But aren't found in the JY too often.
