quick Q: on 85 87 TPI wiring

from what I've read, & going off of http://www.hotrodlane.cc/PDFFILES/TPIStory.pdf from teh FAQ sticky, the 85 & 87 setups are the same. I have an 85 service manual and just want to verify all teh troubleshooting procedures will be the same.

thanks,

85 has different computer and MAF burn off system to '86-'89's.
Diagnostics essentially the same for most systems

Re: quick Q: on 85 87 TPI wiring

Hey, I was wondering maybe if you can give me some pointers on a 3800 swap (in the thought stage, need to see if it'll pan out how i want it to), some of you newer threads are bugged out or something, so thats why I didnt directly message you.
(So you'll probably have to message me until it clears up)

Also I might be able to help with the TPI wiring, my dad has a camaro with a newer one
