Swap_A_Holic's 1966 Chevrolet Corvair

Fuel injection and DIS

While trying to get this car going again, I did some research and found that others have added GM throttle body fuel injection (TBI) and distributorless ignition system (DIS) to their Corvairs.

I have made a list of items needed and am sourcing the parts. I've also made an overall wiring diagram. The basic idea is to adapt two throttle bodies from a 80's-90's 2.0 to 2.5 liter 4 cylinder motor, the computer (ECM) from a 87-91 4.3L GM V6 truck, and the ignition system from a similar year range GM 2.8 or 3.1L V6. I plan on making my own harness, since there are only 31 wires total going to the ECM.

The high performance variation of this would involve some adapters and four 40-46mm throttle body units made by TWM. For the cost of one of those units, I can probably complete the entire GM used parts setup.

When I have completed this project, I will document it with photos and parts details on another webpage.
