Re: questions for converting to TPI

So basically I think I have everything to do the swap except for the PCM which was gone before I found the car.



The set up is off a 305 so Im guessing I need to find a 350 pcm. to make it work with my 350.

I pulled the whole under hood wire harness out of the engine bay all the way back to where the pcm was, I cut nothing. Im hoping that this is all im going to need as far as wiring is concerned but I have no idea what wires I need to keep and which ones to discard.

Im also aware that I must use a high pressure fuel pump and return line. what pump and tank to use is a huge question in my mind for I want to install the tank behind the rearend. I have a plastic foam filled 10 gal tank I would like to use but Im not sure if I can get a high pressure pump to use with it?
Im also thinking I will probably have to machine my heads to accommodate the fuel injector notch. correct me if Im wrong.

Ive also read a little something about different manifolds using different angle blot holes or missing a couple entirely. What should I expect to find when bolting the manifold onto early heads?

So as you can see I have quite a bit of work and questions ahead of me but Im guessing this is the best place to ask for help. any help is always greatly appreciated
You are def going to need 22lb injectors unless it is hopped up then you will need bigger than that. You prob want to give painless wiring a call about a harness too
