How to Complete a Carb-to-EFI Fuel Injection Conversion
- Tools and Materials.
- Remove the Carburetor. Take off the fuel lines and hoses that come from the carburetor.
- Install the Injectors in the Intake Manifold.
- Install the Throttle Body.
- Install the Sensors.
- Adjust the Distributer.
- Set up the Electronics.
Do you need a tuned port fuel injection unit?
Tuned Port Injection units that werc originally marketed for use on 350 CID engines must use an ECM calibrator prom (Mem-Cal) matching that size of engine. TPI units marketed for 305 CID engines must use a calibration prom matching that model engine.
Can a 1987-92 GM tuned port injection system be used?
When using the 1987-92 F-Body injection systems, the two center bolts on each side will not fit the earlier engines without being re-drilled for the proper angle to match the early heads. Also 1985-88 manifold plenums have a cold-start passage and ninth injector for start-up.
Can you use tuned port fuel injection on 305 cid engine?
Tuned Port Injection units that werc originally marketed for use on 350 CID engines must use an ECM calibrator prom (Mem-Cal) matching that size of engine. TPI units marketed for 305 CID engines must use a calibration prom matching that model engine. This is due to the fact that GM used different sized injectors in the 350 and 305 engines.
Can a GM TPI be converted to a fuel injection system?
As with our column last month about six-speed transmissions, converting to a fuel-injection setup like the GM TPI will not be as cheap nor as easy as installing an 850cfm double-pumper Holley, but the benefits to using a fuel-injection-based delivery system will far outweigh the additional costs involved.

What are the torque numbers for tune port injection?
Run on the dyno with long-tub headers, an MSD distributor and Lucas synthetic oil, the tune-port injected small block thumped out some pretty serious torque numbers. As expected, the long-runner TPI system excelled at low-speed torque production and offered 501 lb-ft at 3,900 rpm.
