If I'm going to be using a MSD 6A box, will I still need my TPI ESC module?

Thanks

Thanks pat! Hopefully when I'm done, my setup will be pretty much like yours. Did you clean all the carbon deposits out before you installed?Thats what I'm doing today.

Pat,
Where did you get the intake tube from? (the piece that goes between the throttle body and the C5 bridge.)

Hi,

Fireslayer26 thanks for starting this thread it has the sort of info I was after. Thanks for the shots of the setup you bought as well.

Keep the picks coming as you make progress with the install as I am very interested. I would also like to see how you tackle the efi fuel pump and return line issues.

Should I also invest in getting a dual electric fan setup from a TPI camaro? Would this fit?

Thanks

Thanks Pat, do you know if a wiring harness of a 86 or 87 Iroc 305 will work for me?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I'm getting close to having everything I need for this swap. I still need a compatible knock sensor and vehicle speed sensor. Pat I'm still interested in that C5 air bridge if you still have it.

Thanks
