    TBI upgrade parts

    Could I bolt this on without having to alter the "chip"? What is the HP or Torque gain roughly?

Ive always just used the paperclip to read codes, but I know its no where near as informational. What does IIRC stand for. In gear it idles right at 600, but I...

    tbi codes 13 and 44?

    Yeah unfortunately I am using Bosch's 02, for some reason nobody carries any other kind. There is a little exposed wire behind the pig tail, I'm going to swap in a new sensor today after work and hard wire it in with a bit of extra wire. Thanks, I'll definitely update the thread afterwards!

    Help with 350 TBI timing advance

    You are exactly right!! I ended up replacing my valve guide seals because they smoked on startup. I read somewhere that burning up oil can cause your cat to become clogged. So i pulled the y pipe out and started her up open headers, and by god she ran like a 76k mile tbi should!. So i gutted it...

    Help with 350 TBI timing advance

    Thank you, for the info I'll look into that because I do have a lot of broken, cracked, and half melted connectors. But my problem ended up being a clogged catalytic converter. I removed it on a hunch and hollowed it out. When I threw it all back together the truck ran better than I've ever seen...

    Help with 350 TBI timing advance

    Hmm good idea, I did find a random black wire in my engine harness that was just hanging out of the harness. However there was no other side or cut wire. I'll ground it to the firewall and see what happens. Also I reset the computer and now I can get it to run, but it's a low idle and still has...

    Help with 350 TBI timing advance

    It was set to zero when the truck started having these issues, since I have replaced the distributor, I have not used a timing light to get 0 again, but that's only because nothing has changed as far as symptoms. When starting with the wire connected it will crank and have multiple sudden stops...

    Help with 350 TBI timing advance

    Plugs and wires have been changed, and the ignition module was changed when I swapped distributors. I attempted to check fuel pressure a few months ago because I a had a lean condition, but that ended up being a 02 that got ruined thanks to the bad valve guides. Thanks gauge that I used must...
