Probably the best book on TPI swapping is the one sold at
www.jagsthatrun.com. Their books are extremely detailed and informative. I
have used the TPI book and the S-10 V8 Swap book. Both are great. The book
will also answer a lot of your questions about which parts you need and can
use.

Cool. I'm familiar with fuel injection but very little practical
experience since, like many, "I don't do EFI". I read the Vette book and it
all seems pretty simple now. Maybe the TPI book will discuss testing
sensors or computer control. That's the next step for me. After making the
darned thing run, of course:)

Hi Jim,
Neither do most of us, unless required to use electronic fuel
injection for SMOG purposes. We go so... much quicker with the Holley
850 double pumper: http://www.----------.com/holleySite.jpg
Or 750 CFM they chose to dyno this create motor:
