Holy Cow! I haven't heard of him before, but he's on my bookmarks now! After I get a new front axle, I know where my money is going!

Sounds like a fair price guys if that is a new wiring harness. I 've done a few FI conversions on vehicles and am in the slow process of doing a 403 Olds. I get my wiring harness' from Larry's electric which are Brand new and rebuilt computers too.

One of his systems was on my truck for Ouray last year. Here's pics:
We started this project back in 2001 and I'm STILL trying to get everything right, but...., the engine is FAR from stock and I'm FAR from being easy to please!
For a stock (or close thereto) engine, TPIguys really would be a bolt on system that would work right off the bat, then with a few data files and chip changes, you'd be there. My problem is the radical cam, advancing, retarding, flowed heads, etc., just trying to squeeze out the Jerrari I know is there 
We installed a Holley digital system on a friends truck and once a month I'm out there re-adjusting the **** thing. With TPIguys system, it would stay within parameters indefinitely, especially since she only runs it at one altitude.
Biggest problem I've had is with the Master fuel pumps, had TWO go out on me and one with only 500 miles on it on the way up Imogene pass during the invasion. There might be a link to the story somewhere here?
Have now done the in-tank pump thing and it seems to be doing great (since this is the original pump that was used on the Chev trucks that the TBI's were used on, it's completely compatible).
Here's a page I threw up a while back using Hari's initial instructions on install of the pump.
http://www.coloradobiodiesel.com/pump.html
For the $'s, this really is the only way to go for fuel injection on AMC V8's, the Holley is NOT what I would consider an install and forget about it system, TPIguys system would be for the normal Jeeper.
