    Are you finding what you need to get this project done?. Rockauto also sells the wiring connector pigtails for your coil. Don't forget the heat shrink connectors. Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk

    Aftermarket tbi install

    If you are converting from a carburetor to this just follow the directions in your kit. An ignition wiring diagram for an 87-92 TBI motor would show you how the stock engines were wired. Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk

    I use a Blue Streak coil with my factory TBI. Sounds like you still have the same type of ignition system. Stock type coil should work. Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk

    Need an air injection pump (smog pump) for an 87 gmc V2500 TBI 350

    Why not just put a better catalytic converter on it that will burn the exhaust gases better and give you better performance. Air pumps are worthless. Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk

    Alternator belt slip

    I converted my 87 V20, 5.7, over to the serpentine belt system. I pulled everything off a 92 GMC Sierra 1500. Everything swapped over easily and I now have a 105 amp alternator charging my dual batteries. It is so nice not having to deal with four belts anymore, and the water pump is easier to...

    How to fix loose gm steering column

    How to fix loose gm steering column

    I'm having this very same problem with my tilt column in my 87 V20. I'ed have it out and apart if I had a second vehicle to drive. Still my daily driver going on 34 years come April 1st. I've been on the lookout for another good used tilt column if I can find one at the right price. Clayton...

    Vince's TBI woes, progressive revelations, and tbi mods.

    You're good to go at WOT then. I still think your TPS may need replacement due to the higher than specifications voltage at closed throttle. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk

    Your wide open throttle voltage ought to be closer to 4.5-5 volts. You need a new TPS. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk

    Divorced coil ignition system - What is the correct module connector?

    Check out rockauto.com, I just got a pigtail for my IAC valve connector. They have the coil wire pigtail with both connectors. If your wires are good just de-pin the broken plug and put the new connector on your wires. I did that with my IAC connector. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk

    Optima Batteries worth the cost?

    Yup, you want to get the freshest battery you can get. That's why I like Interstate batteries. They rotate their inventory regularly. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk

    Optima Batteries worth the cost?

    I would go with the Interstate battery with the highest cranking amps you can get. Interstate is a long lasting battery. I try to stay away from auto parts store batteries because they don't last. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk

    Optima Batteries worth the cost?

    Look's like a parasitic draw from some of your onboard electronics drew down your battery. Newer rigs you really need to start up and run atleast once a week. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk

    No worries, I was looking more at the voltage with the throttle closed. You did a good job. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk

    I agree with you. Your TPS is bad. Good job on your diagnosis. Looking forward to seeing how your laptop scantool setup works out once you receive it. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk

    Vince's TBI woes, progressive revelations, and tbi mods.

    Mine didn't throw a code. I just watched the voltage go from .68 to 1.28 volts as I slowly pressed on the accelerator pedal. My Scan tool has paid for it's self because it allow's you to see the sensors in live action. My new TPS sensor voltage read at .5v with the throttle closed. Clayton...

    Vince's TBI woes, progressive revelations, and tbi mods.

    Glad I could help. I just dealt with some faulty sensors, and broken wiring to sensor connections on my 87 V20. After 33 years the sensors just wear out, and the wiring get's brittle and breaks, or corrodes. TBI is pretty much trouble free and very dependable when it is working properly...

    .68 volts is too high at closed throttle. Should be .45 to .50 volts. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk
