No...only stock injectors the early dodge TBI.

How does the it run in general? I ask since there is nothing that can be done for custom tuning with the TBI systems...

Also, which cam are you using?

sls001: I know there aren't any listed injector replacements at the parts stores but have you ever checked with an injector shop to see if there are higher flowing injectors that might fit our application? They have all of the specifications.

I would say he is right to worry about that. It may run but the injectors will be a big limiting factor on performance. Most people go back to carb and sh.tcan the computer for electronic ignition.

Seal: even if a shop could make custom injectors the factory computer will not have the ability to compensate and supply the necessary PW.


The trans OD only is controlled by the computer (as is the voltage regulator, ac, and cruise) but it can be easily switched to a vacuum\electric set up or even a manual switch.

The factory computer has nearly no ability to compensate for the modifications you have done...don't be discouraged though there are ways around it either with a carb or after-market fuel injection.

The biggest concern should be the static and dynamic compression ratio...and how bad the detonation is going to be...that is why I asked about the cam specs.

Do you have the parts list of what your father used in he engine?
