I am going to put a 350 T.B.I. engine in my 1964 C-10 and was wondering what the easiest way to connect all of the engine harness into my truck harness. Someone mentioned an aftermarket stand alone harness and controller but I don't know where to look for it. If anyone has anymore info or ideas on spliceing the harness out of my donor vehicle into my truck harness please help. Thanks. | | |

I,ve never done it but I believe a guy could take the harness out of the donor car or get a circuit & make one up. You will need all the sensors that go with it.

I retrofitted a Crossfire dual TBI 305 into a late-70's pickup once, and installed all the factory sensors, including the vehicle speed sensor behind the speedometer, in-tank fuel pump, etc. It turned into a massive project. There are aftermarket kits that give most of the factory system functions without doing a full rewire, but if you're going to that much effort, the port-injection engine would be a better choice. TBI, while more sophisticated than carburetion, is still a pretty primitive system.

TBI gets better mileage than a carb usually and has few things go wrong. TPI is better suited to cars than trucks though many have done them. Mainly they are looking for speed. However it is your choice. Check out the website www.goingfaster.com/spo/praisetbi.html Its quite lengthy and I've read it all. Very well thought out and someone really knows their stuff in my opinion. He compares TBI, TPI and carbs while discussing the L03 engine, the 305. Same applies to the L05/350. I have a TBI 350. Sounds like someone who has been at mechanincing for quite a long time. Just some of my suggestions to your question. I wish you success on which ever choice you make. H. | | |
