  • Converting 88 from carb to fuel injection

    Need all the info on converting an 88 from carb to FI.
    What parts do we need?
    Is there a complete thread available on this?
    Thanks

    Complete wiring harness. Even the dash harness is different.

    Either an inline fuel pump or switch the tank and lines.

    It's quite a bit of work

      I've done 4 of these efi swaps, normally it's due to body failure. With that in mind, my donor car tends to be a complete daily driver. The difference's between the two are...

      Complete wire harness, alot of wire harness components like relays, maf, sensors, ecu, ect.. fuel tank, fuel lines, intake, distributor, coil, windshield washer fluid tank, Air cleaner and mounting brackets, inlet tube, power seat belts ( I always use the manual ones and just leave the power pigtail unhooked. I think that about covers it.

      IMO, if this is your first efi swap. It best to have a complete running donor car, take lots of pictures, mark everything you unplug, and keep both cars and all parts until you have it swapped and running. Take you time, don't get overwhelmed, if your somewhat mechanically inclined, it not that hard to do. My first one took about a week, the last one took about two days.
