Exactly, what does rebuilt mean? What was actually done?

Was this TPI, tuned port injection, or TBI, throttle body injection?

Tech - There was no TBI in F-bodies in 1985. It was either TPI or an E4ME. About 1989 a TBI version was available to replace of the carb, and the TPI remained through 1992.

Thanks for the info Blue...just wanted to make sure that it was TPI......

Did he say some or all injectors were replaced? It's important if replaced, they are all replaced, and all the same model number, injector......if not, can have problems with flow rates....
