if your going to ditch the tpi and put a carb on there, you might as well pull the 350 out and put a 345 in there. fred, you know where he can get a cheap one?

its temporary to get it running/inspected .Originally Posted by agjohn02
The guy never got the TPI to "work" it fired once and never worked again, I have no idea what the guy did, what any of the wires are, and since i dont even know what im looking at that makes it even more fun. I could throw alot of money at it and still not have it work, or spend $200 on a carb and have it run in a weekend.
I was actually searching the other day cause i thought flem recommended a book on it, when i found ididoth's shat.
My theory is this, when I get out of school, i plan to drop some coin and set it up exactly like i want, i will most likely ditch the motor that's in it now for a 5.3 or something of that sort. I just want to get it running now and be able to comprehend wtf is going on when it takes a shat. Not constantly jiggling wires and checking voltages on the way to work.
if you get it running on a carb, its gonna be hard to pull that apart and do the fuel injection in the future. i volunteer flem to come help you with it and get it going cheaper than you can do the carb swap.
just tell him you have tiger woods golf or guiter hero
Fred/Flem...
will the xxxx7747 TBI computer I have work for the TPI since they are both batch fire? If so I could bring it over and we could do some tinkering sat. night. Maybe an un-****edwith computer would help.

Yes TBI is just a steady flow of fuel. You can watch it if you take the air cleaner off.
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
Yes, you can watch it, and it looks steady. But if you listen, you can hear it's just fast pulses...it's not a smooth flow. This is why I thought it could be related to batch fire.

I had a long reply written, but my apartment internet sucks ass and it dropped right as I hit reply and lost it
going to tailgate tonight? If so, we'll talk
i've got some of those tpi ecm's floating around if you suspect its the problem
747 uses peak and hold driver, it might not be able to supply enough current to keep 4 injectors open
I think that kit eric was looking at from edelbrock uses the later tbi computer to drive 4 injectors per driver, but there could be some fancy electronics between the computer and injector that they supply.
