There is a tech article on the TBI to TPI swap, as well as several hundred posts from people who have done the swap before you and have been excited about the results. Please and you'll find most of your answers.

Re: 305 tbi to 305 tpi

I did the swap on mine and I'm pleased with it. The way I did it, and its got be by far the easiest way, is to get all your parts from a complete running donor car. Its pretty involved, but not too bad if you take your time and pay attention. Good luck and welcome to the site!
