    How much does he want for the intake? AL or Iron?

    Is he willing to share what rails he found that are close? Shouldn't need distributors, already have CCC would convert one of those. Would really like to go with a smaller one for clearance, but it's Oldsmobile. I'll have to look closer when I get to that point, see if a different "top" can be swapped.

    Unfortunately machine work here is pretty pricey, but it's an option. I'd really like to get my hands on a stock rail setup to see if it's even worth using. At that age, it may be junk for all I know, not worth using. The lines looked fairly small, nothing like the volume I assume even the TPI rails hold.

    Pics are here.

    There is an acrylic TB adapter template installed, the fuel rails are close to fitting, mostly just need mounts made up properly, there's a couple fuel pressure regulators that will come with it. The TB is the Caddy style with the throttle kicker for idle.
    The intake is aluminum, and is "full port." I'm told that some of these could have been "half port" that closed off the lower portion of the intake port, like they did with the crossfire LIM.
    The MAP sensor port has been modified to accept a newer push in style MAP sensor, that is also included.

    Hmm, pretty interesting.

    What would be your appraisal of amount of work this thing would require to fit the rails/injectors to the intake itself, and run the regulator? The mounts look pretty basic, bend, drilling/tapping, but if the injector fittings don't line up exactly with the intake, that's a bit more work.

    Can't quite envision what is going on with the fuel rails. I see the injector ports, and what looks like a crossover fitting, but there seem to be other "fittings" on the rails. I can't 6 non-injector fittings (or cut offs). If I remember the TPI rails correctly, there are only two...inlet and outlet to regulator. But obviously too many fittings can be fixed, it's more about the injector angles.

    gregs78cam just called me from Pull and Save and found a complete intake/system etc still on car... soon to be off car...

    I know nothing about these, are the old injectors an issue? Seems the intake would be the good piece to have to start with, TB looks same as newer ones with built in IAC, not sure why MAP would need changed if newer TB with IAC were on there you'd have a dedicted MAP port... cool project!

    Not sure that the old injectors are an issue per se, but I've just gone off the original post that lead me down the path towards port injected Oldsmobile, and that "build" used newer injectors. Like most everything engine-related, new stuff is probably better. :) Or at least if injecting with more modern components, better to use injectors that work easily with whatever system you decide to go with.

    Ok, so I just got back, and here is what I have. It is off of a '77 Eldorado. Everything that was attached to the intake, minus air cleaner. This throttle body looks like it attaches with four bolts in a square pattern, so it should be easy to use a newer one with an adapter plate. I also grabbed the distributor as well, and the valley pan. I would guess it weighs around 30lbs all together. How is $100 plus shipping? Or if you don't want all of it, make me an offer.
