Hey all! I am new to here but have heard lots of good stuff! I saw that there are lots of ways to go electronic distributor, but is there a kit/parts list at present to put a TBI unit onto a 261??
Thanks
:confused:

Do some searching. There was a thread a while back where a guy described adapting TBI from other motors to a Stovebolt.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

One of the big wire co,s has a harness for it.

Some people are like Slinkies, Their not really good for nothing... But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Thanks much for the input... I think I'm gonna get real nuts and strike off with a 2.8 pile of parts and do some serious fabbing... what the heck ya only live once... maybe if it works nice I'll market an affordable TBI manifold... the 261 alone will be a welcome update from the 216 in the truck!
