You will need:

1. Engine or TPI setup(obviously)

2. wiring harness

3. computer

4. heater core plumbing (the hoses that run from the heater core to the heater adjustment valve (the plastic piece that 3 hoses connect to and a vacuum line, has a round top) to include the metal tubing that is attached to the frame.

5. the throttle cable

6. the hose that connects to the brake booster, to include the plastic pieces on both ends

7. the cable that runs from the throttle lever to right after the drivers head light, it is some kind of vacuum thing.

8. alot of patients especially if they are different years, 92 TBI to 89 TPI or vise versa requires you to repin the firewall connector on the drivers side below the relays

9. starter

these are all the things I needed to swap mine over. there are a couple of other thing, i'll have to look when it is light out.

alittle hint is when your taking everything, leave all the little vacuumlines hooked up to the intake manifold and chase them to the main line and then label them with tape or something.

hope it helps
John
