I have had the book for 10 years. Still comes in handy. I bought that book when I knew nothing about efi. Trouble shooting charts come in handy.

I like "Chevy TPI Fuel Injcetion Swapper's Guide" by John Baechtel a little better, but Watson's book has some info not contained in Baechtel's book.

I think both are very good quick references and have some info not found in the GM Shop Manual, though the shop manual is still my definitive reference.

If Border's doesn't have it Amazon.com will; about $15 or so.

Though I rely on my shop manuals, I like these two references since they apply to all GM TPI SBCs.

Great book to have.Highly recommend it.This is ideal for OBD1 cars though,even though there is a section on OBD2.Ive used this book to track down a few car problems that were really hard to diagnose.

I wish I had your patience.

I looked it up on google and it kept coming up with Powertech.

Maybe the publisher is Powertech.
