I've been looking for ways to clean up the engine bay and found this on ebay, but looking at my rail it looks as though I can just flip it around and essentially have the same thing without having to pay someone to do it for me. Will this work?

I don't see why not. As long as you've got the room. They mentioned that you have to convert to a speed density if you currently use the MAF system. I don't know why!

some of the tpi systems with MAF have a 9 fuel injectors. the extra one is used to help start the engine when the weather is cold. its located in the middle of the left bank rail. this modification looks like it elininates the ninth injector.

also, if you have the ninth injector, you will not be able to just turn the rail around.


it's not a brick, it's cruise control.

Yeah, that's right. That's a cold start injector, and mine, which was a 1986 MAF TPI, had one.

Later years just enriched the fuel mixture on the other 8, eliminating the need for a cold start injector.
