doubledouble80 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I am about to upgrade my 79 Monte Carlo to fuel injection looking to see if anyone had any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesmith0890 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 if i remember correctly, you'll need a fuel pump, and of course all the necessary parts for the fuel injection. Might be beneficial to go ahead and tear the block down and make sure all the seals are good and give it some new gaskets. Quote AlphaDamp Sound Deadening CDL Mat - The best Vibration Damper Ever! I'd hit that so fucking hard whoever pulled me out would be King of England. Lol... looks like we were on the same page. Car-B-Ques suck.ya, tires and paint burning make the marshmallows taste funny.

I have the motor out and just dropped the heads off to be checked. I'm just a lil nervouse about the process now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustin_shull Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 to make life easier, you could get a painless universal tbi harness.... but honestly, i would rather have a speed density TPI set up for a STOCK SBC.... HOWEVER, if you plan on doing any kind of head/cam/ or block work, a good ol' fashion holley 4150 series carb is hard to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cb1973 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 IF YOUR LOOKING FOR FUEL ECONOMY THE TBI WOULD BE NICE. BUT IF YOUR LOOKING FOR PERFORMANCE YOU NEED TO GET THE HOLLY CARB 4150 SERIES THAT WAS RECOMENDED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
