If you have all the sensors then you're set. You just need to invest in a $45 adaptor plate from holley. TBI to either square bore or spread. You'll need a knock sensor (passengers side of block), CTS (intake manifold near thermo housing), you DON'T need an IAT (read about it in the tech article, I forget what resistor you put in it's place), oil pressure, an electric fuel pump is best (low flow pressure), a MAP sensor, and an O2 sensor. When you get all that stuff onto your carb enging make sure you're running open element , it's the only way to go. What are the specs on the engine? If your cam is less than 112 lobe seperation you're going to have a *itch of a time getting TBI to work well. What kind of trans do you have and gears? Please be more specific.
You'll want to make sure to plug up all the vacuum ports on the TBunit that you don't need. When you hook up the MAP sensor you'll want to be sure to have it on a "ported" vacuum fitting. If you visit my website I just updated it and have a section that explains where to find/install all the sensors.
Hope that helps.

This is ported isn't it? It always gets vacuum. Non-ported was near the TBunit. At least that was what I gathered. Anyways, the lable "ported vacuum" might be wrong but that is where you want the MAP hooked up.
