Default Used TPI parts sources?

I'm trying to complete my TPI (86-89) system. Have intake, runners, plenum etc, but miss many of the external components (sensors, wiring, ECM etc)
Can anyone recommend a good source for used TPI parts?

Ingar, from the mid 80's up most all GM cars with DPFI use the same sensors....
so a junkyard is maybe your most convenient source....
helps if you have the correct part numbers to match up with your computer....

if the parts looks correct mechanically....it's a good sign...:-)))

most junkyards charge a buck or two for them...at that rate take several...

IM what you need and I can start the junkyard hunt over here.
ECM's go for $20 and under.
Most sensors can be bought at Autozone.
I would buy your harness pre-made to save time from Painless.
If you want to build it, I have a source for all the connectors also.
Do you need a throttle body, fuel injectors, and rail. If so, I know a guy thats got a complete set up sitting in a box, I'm going to buy one of his motors so I may be able to swing a good deal.

Thanks all!

I've gotten some leads now that I'm trying out.
If no success I'll be very happy to get some help.
(Buddy has helped me before, an awesome guy!!)

(I have most of the engine mounted hardware, but miss the external parts, ecm, maf, wireharness etc.)
