My TPI swap is getting more and more hectic. I'm thinking of going with the edelbrock TBI-multipoint kit. I wrote their EFI tech and he said that I needed a Truck computer. Why? Is this all I would need? Any info. appreciated.

 

I looked into and I didn't like it. It is designed for trucks so you must use a truck computer. Somehow you have to make it work with your transmission, might require retaining your stock computer. Plus, there may be fuel pump issues. I don't know if you can just use a TPI fuel pump, or if their fuel pump will fit into the thirdgen sending unit. Looked like a bigger pita to me than swapping to TPI.

Haven't been to track with new motor
If you have any questions on converting from TBI to TPI email me at jdkchevy70@yahoo.com
In memory of Dale Earnhardt, I'll miss cheering for that black #3 on raceday!!!

 

I've got Edelbrocks Pro-Flo #3500 TPI setup and love it. It came with its own computer. I would go with the TPI over the TBI anyday.
They also have the #3503 system to convert carbureted engines to TPI.
The kit that came with mine had EVERYTHING I needed including the fuel pump(inline) and fuel line.
