Hey,

Thanks for the replys. Didnt they add a 9th injector on speed density (not sure). Also should I use the stock distributor or can I use my hei with vacum advance?

If you plan to run TPI fuel injection, you must get the ECM, which also controls the distributor. You can tell if the TPI is a SD setup by looking at the back "passenger side" of the plenum for the spot that the MAP sensor bolts and connects to.
