Somewhere in this long thread is what I wrote about converting the El Camino to fuel injection. Getting rid of that horrid computer controlled Rochester carb and converting to throttle body fuel injection is the best upgrade ever for my Elky.
It was back when I still had the 305 in it, and well over 100,000 miles ago. I have it all written down in my Elky records, I am too lazy to look up the exact date.
Anyway, the FI has been flawless since I got it put together and all tuned. The other day I got a temporary Service Engine soon light, and the reader said it was the throttle position sensor. I guess it is worn out and needs to be replaced. I ordered a new one, actually made in USA, for $32 and I need to put it on. The engine is running fine, but I don't want it to fail and lever me stranded. So after 100K miles or more I have to spend 32 bucks and almost 10 minutes to swap it out.
