There is a lot on this site about TBI conversions. Here are links to a demo efidiy and I did at Bonneville in '08. I was working on a TBI/Turbo 292 that never got finished. It was a fun project that was sidelined by mandatory projects. (life) I built a Megasquirt and got an old laptop to run it. I did more work on the laptop than I did on the truck. MS had to be done in Windows and I use a MAC. I have pics of the MS build also. It was very intimidating at first but not really hard, just lots of little pieces.

The link I used was "Help needed to change 4 piles into 1" ( a bad choice for the topic) If you click on my name and then on my posts it shows up on the 12th page of my posts. There is a lot of BS there but a lot of good stuff too. Also check the posts of others who posted on that thread like efidiy, dice man, and others whose posts indicate they were working on TBI projects. This is a strange way to search a site but our search engine here sucks. When efidiy put the TBI on my '53 pickup with a GMC 270 it was running in less than an hour. We had a vacuum leak, a fuel leak, lots of wind and it was getting dark so we quit before we got a good tune. I put the carb back on by borrowed flashlight. \:D I will finish this when other projects get out of the way. I'll stick with TBI because it is so easy and plenty good enough for the street. Mechanically it is like adapting a carb. You need an electric fuel pump and a return line, and a few wires. Hope this helps. Beater
