Hey Pat ..... I don't consider your thoughts to be "jerkey" but ..... like I tell people when I do aluminum welding work ...... Aluminum is easy to weld - easier than steel.... for me. Why?? Because I've been doing it for a long time & I've become very good at it. Although I offer to teach them most don't have the time, skill set or ability topurchase the equipment after I get finished.

I have the same view on this new fangled tbi/tpi stuff. You'd be better off telling me to go to a mechanical fuel injection unit - I understand the mechanics of it. I do not understand, nor do I want to expand my skill set, on electronic injection - anything.

With that said - it is actually easier for me to replace it with a carb, intake, HEI & msd box than to purchase, borrow or steal the diagnostic equipment & learn how to utilize it.

So in a nutshell ..... I'm "old school", narrow minded & don't have the ability to learn & am not going to change out tbi stuff unless it will be replacing it. Of course if someone wants to come by & figure it out & address it ..... by all means don't let me stand in your way - pm me & I'll get you my address ....
