No more TBI, alll TPI (l98)!!

After spending the night

Different Angle :

Interior Shots SUPER clean!! Needs a vacuum, but I'll get around to it lol :




The Motor (Going over to detail it later today)Has K&N Filter and 1.6 Rockers :
I guess when GM swapped the 350 in it they changed the Emission label to 8) (doesnt look like anything under the sticker either) :




Exterior Shots :











New A/M Coil :

I also got a Chilton Manual, Haynes Manual and original GM Shop Manual its freakin HUGE lol, and some brochers and papers from Pontiacs 88 Line up, and a Front end bra.
Love the Bird, Code name is : White Knight

Are you sure it has 1.6 rockers? My understanding is you need tall valve covers for 1.6. Thats the reason I havent installed mine. Thats just what i've read, so reply back I have to know so I can put mine on. Very nice car by the way. Love the TPI. check out mine. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2662904

I've had more sets of the narrow self aligning 1.6:1 rockers on stock TBI/TPI/LT1/Vortec engines than I can count.

Re: No more TBI, alll TPI (l98)!!

hey fast, i've been thinking about doing this, the 1.6's i mean, i have a mostly stock exhaust but i've read that putting the longer rockers on just the exhaust side can be good for how chevy heads flow, for whats always going to be based on a LTR and l98 head combination, would reccomend this mod and which do you think is better, just on the exhaust side or on both?
