My 79 El Camino (GMC Sprint) originally had a V6 and a 4 speed saginaw but I swapped the 6 and the saginaw for a L98 TPI with 5 speed out of a 3rd gen Camaro. Everything almost bolted in and the only thing I had to do was come up with a throttle cable and I installed electric fans with Bosch relays. The computer fit up under the dash by the HVAC and I didn't have to modify much. I did end up with a cowl induction hood and Monte Carlo SS interior. My car was a factory bench with no console and it had this little plastic hump on the floor. Best turn key car I ever sold. Wish I still had it but it was either that or the 70 Chevelle

I have the Edelbrock pro-flow EFI to put on my 383, got it used on E-bay for about 1100.00. I hope to get the car running in summer 2012. We'll see... time and money, not enough of either. Doing lot more than the engine to the car.
I installed Howell EFI(TBI) (cost about 1200)on my 6 cyl 78 Jeep CJ7. works very well, has an odd issue when warm sometimes trying to go uphill at speed. Never has problems when crawling on the trail, I like it much more than with the carb. |
