Hello guys,

Been a member for quite a few years, but was in the C3 section. I have a 1974 Corvette, although its been a long time since I've fooled with it.

I don't have a C4, but I have an 88 IROC-Z 350 that I might need a little TPI help with. I just ordered injectors from FIC and John said this was a great tech forum, so here I am.

Just thought it was right to introduce myself before I ask questions. Look forward to learning some more about the TPI and talking to you all.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I appreciate it! Randy, its nice to know you are local too! I think I can handle the injectors, but something else will come up where I need assistance! Right now, my big thing is swapping the new injectors to see how that helps. The car starts lousy warm and cold with long cranking times and idles terrible. Gas mileage is still pretty good though at 17 around town. I just swapped from a 2.77 rear to 3.27's when the original rear broke on our trip to the Hot Rod Power Tour..................

I also have a 93 Firehawk that needs a motor so I'll be looking at LT1 combos too! Gonna be an expensive year!

Got the injectors on Sunday.....they were in the mailbox Saturday but due to all the rain I didn't get them till Sunday.........

Am trying to take off Friday so I can put them in.......the ROC is the only car running so I want to make sure I have adequate time to do the job.

Will let you know how it all turns out then go from there......!
