TBI to TPI

Hi everyone,
I have a 91 305 Camaro RS. Does anyone know where I can get a TPI attachment (that is street legal)? If possible can you also list the things I need to make this swap.

There is a tech article on how to do the swap. Try looking at the tech articles before posting on ANY board. Oh yeah, and this is the last place to be posting about how to swap to TPI because everybody here still has TBI...why should we know how to do the swap? It isn't complicated so long as you have all the parts.
Moderators, lock this please.

Ok, you should not be posting this here in the first place, but before you go calling people dumb asses because you didnt look for the tech articles you should take a closer look and realize who the real dumb *** is:

You get parts by looking at classified ads and in your local junkyard. Good luck with your swap, its definitely worth it.

Car down for a while??!!?? If ya have everthing I'd be surprised if the swap took 2-3 days. I'm willing to bet that if ya started it on a friday night you can have it back running sunday.

You are one arrogant son-of-a-b!tch. Before yo go spouting your mouth off about **** you dont know about, why dont you try taking JPrevost's advice and asking elsewhere, where you might get replys that HELP. Your kind is not wanted on this board. We are all here to help each other, and that is exactly what JPrevost was trying to do. I suggest you apologize so as not to ruin your reputation before you even get your foot in the door....

Im sure the actual swap isnt that bad. I hear the wiring is what takes ALONG time. I thought about trying the swap but its at least 400$ for the parts and not worth it in my eyes. Reason for my post earlier is the fact he asked if its an attachment...little more complicated than that. Am I the *******?

Hrmm the wiring isnt all that hard. It all comes out in one shot and ya drop in the new harness.. I think the hardest part is swaping out the fuel pump and getting the distributor back in
