Re: Tbi to tpi swap gone wrong
You need a TPI fuel pump. TBI fuel pumps are low pressure, around 15 psi. TPI needs about 45 psi. Also, does the TPI setup your using have vats? If so, you may need to get a vats bypass module.

If VATS is the problem, you can save some money and use resistors to bypass the security. Look up vats bypass on here. Just make sure you do it right, solder, heat shrink, all that good stuff.

POSTED ...didn't see it was solved
He has no spark. AND low fuel pressure got to fix both. I've been using Airtex E8248 in-line pump. 70GPH flow and up to 110psi pressure. Pretty quiet pump. No spark sounds like a control module or wiring from distributor to computer.
