As long as you are already TPI, you will use all the existing wiring, sensors and computer.

Well since you have TBI you must first convert to TPI minus the intake. There are plenty of tech articles on that floatingaround the net.
Yes I tuned the computer, it will not run good unless some tuning is preformed. I tune alot.
