Default Fuel Injection Bible???

Some time ago, I read a post where someone mentioned or made reference of the "bible" of TPI fuel injection. Could someone help me with the name of this document ? Thanks in advance for the assistance!

I like Ben Watson's How to Tune and Modify Chevrolet Fuel Injection - Very little on mods, but it outlines the basics of how it all works (which all the Helm Shop Manuals assume you know), and gives plenty of tips on how to troubleshoot without special tools. Really handy if you own a lot of GM vehices (I have four). Picked it up at Borders along with Mike Antonick's Corvette Specs '84-'96 and then I have the Shop Manuals too.

I also have "Chevy TPI Fuel Injection Swapper's Guide" by John Baechtel.

It presents similar info though some different data but lacks an index like Watson's book.

Both should have a place on your book shelf.

I think "Corvette Fuel Injection" by Charles Probst is the definitive work on the subject. It covers 82-2001. Full title is "How to Understand, Service and Modify Corvette Fuel Injection and Electronic Engine Management". ISBN is 0-8376-0861-9 and it runs about $35. You can get it through some of the catalogs or order it through a local book store. I have one and it is extremely well written by a professional tech writer.
