    Make note to viewers, those fuel line O-rings are special. Don't just buy a regular black one. Those are Viton, not your standard rubber ones. If a GM shop doesn't have them, Napa is where I bought mine.
    Loved your details explaining everything. 👍

    Tip: prior to replacing the gaskets (paper based) rub them with chapstick liberally. This will prevent them from sticking when you remove them next time. PB Blaster also aids in gasket removal. Spray some on and wait a bit then scrape. Always a good idea to keep the TBI bores on the manifold covered until it's time to reconnect the TBI.

      Yes I was informed of all of that when I went to the Racing store. It appears I have a pree vortex reburn. And it was giving me problems because the previous owner had installed it incorrectly. So this week I am doing a complete teardown and rebuild on my TBI. Supposedly this is going to give me better gas mileage and more horsepower. I bought my truck because it had a lot of horsepower to begin with. Unfortunately the previous owner as installed the re burner inappropriately. When the Racing store explained it to me I went from happy with my strong pickup truck to yeah my son's not borrowing this one to go on a date. It appears I'm running a throttle body and injectors with a Turbocharger. And now that I've seen how it's supposed to be installed instead of the way I purchased it. Once I go through a complete rebuild on the TBI & properly install the exhaust charged Toronado remixer. I will be able to see what kind of horsepower I really do have on my new four-wheel-drive. I was told my fuel injectors are just fine other than they are a little bit dirty and need to be cleaned. So I picked up the full rebuild kit and checking all of the warnings very carefully. As it appears I actually purchased a souped-up four-wheel drive and should expect both better fuel consumption which will increase my mileage and my horsepower well not costing me anymore in gas and maybe even less. It appears my Silverado is one step below a Vortec without having its balls cut. And to think I thought it had its horsepower because it has a rebuilt luck but my poor baby's been sick this whole time. I fixed her up three months ago and I had no clue she was souped-up I just needed a strong four-wheel drive.

    If you want to add performance & stay with all ACdelco parts you can put your injector pod onto a 454 tbi body. This will double your cfm from 420 to around 880. Your bore is 1 5/8 & a 454 bore is 2 inches. You'll have instant throttle response. You'll gain noticeable power & also mpg. More air in always better. I did have an edelbrock intake bored out to fit the 2" port holes of the 454 tbi but you could simply add a tapered tbi spacer. I also added an injector pod spacer for better atomization of fuel. I had a stock 350 with this mod & it would roast my 35" tires. The only none stock part you would need is a plug adaptor for the map sensor. I got 20-22 mpg in my 93 1500 extra cab with 9 inches of lift & 35" tires.

    @80sfordguy 4 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Jimmy, the way to properly check your injector spray pattern is simply done with a timing light, it’s the same for Chevy Ford or Chrysler TBI injection systems. All 2bbl TBI units are crossfeed designs, meaning for the Chevys/Chrysler’s the driver side injector supplies the passenger side of the engine cylinders 2 - 8 and the passenger side injector supplies the driver side driver side of the engine cylinders 1 - 7. For Fords it’d be passenger side cylinders 1 - 4 & driver side cylinders 5 - 8 with the same config of the opposite side injector feeding opposite sides of the engine as well.
    Then, simply place the timing light clamp on ANY cylinder spark plug wire on the passenger side of the engine to check the driver side injector and likewise ANY cylinder spark plug wire on the driver side to check the passenger side injector. Then you to point the timing light at the Venturi (under the injector) showing visibly the injector spray pattern on either injector as the spark plug is fired and shows dribbling, dripping, clogged or poor flowing injector spray pattern. Perhaps, you can do it to see it for yourself then again in a video to show others as well for diag purposes and more content for other automotive DIY’ers like yourself.
    It’s good to check TBI spray pattern anytime a ignition tune up is being done or if a cylinder misfire is suspected and spark is verified but the miss still persists. Personally on these older TBI units I check spray pattern at every ignition tuneup, cylinder miss diag, fuel system diag, O2 sensor diag, emissions diag specifically EVAP diag and prior to catalytic converter diag. This spray pattern check can surely tell you if your injectors are clogging, causing a lean/rich condition, if EVAP system if causing injectors to pull back fuel flow causing lean condition or rich condition that would affect the catalytic converters.

    @midnight-xpress1136 4 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    For those wondering replacing injectors usually does two things. Like jimmy said they will help restore, restore being the key word, throttle response and some what fuel economy.
    I say somewhat because if you have leaky injectors that will cause poor fuel atomization and you go through more fuel, making a little less power. Hence the throttle response.
    Better fuel economy will be realized due to O2 sensors. These control your fuel trims. If you have a clogged injector or bad spray pattern, your fuel trims from what the ecu reads will either take away or add fuel to try and keep the fuel ratio right. But that only will be able to do so much.
    PS getting some arasol gasket remover spray, can go a long way to help getting stubborn paper or cork gaskets off.

    A good tip is to take lots of pics before, during, teardown just in case you forget where things go. Very careful and we'll done! Note, you don't need lube on orings, lube and gasoline don't mix, should they somehow meet. But, preventative maintenance kicks ass! 😆

I am working on a TBI system and did not remove the throttle body base as you did. I just took of the top. I had not worked on this type fuel system before and I will say your film was very helpful. And more importantly, I actually enjoyed it and watched the entire film. (that seldom happens) Thank-you!

    My 1987 s10 blazer 2.8 liter has had some performance issues on start up. Long crank time until firing and hesitation upon acceleration. After start up and engaging in load the engine would die. I have been working thru the problem with gas line filter change, new fuel, new spark plugs and throttle position sensor, o2 sensor was bad also. Engine runs well now but the long crank time until firing still persists. I am at the point of testing the fuel pump pressure and looking at the tbi injectors now. Thanks for your video.

    Great video! I have a 94 Silverado 5.0, 384k original miles same engine. I recently thought I would spray some throttle body cleaner through the TBI. Well, it must've broke some crud loose and after that, it had a hesitation on the pedal. Thought maybe messed up a sensor, but no. So, I took apart the throttle body and did a deep clean. Bought the fuel pressure rebuild kit as I rebuilt the throttle body a few years ago. Spraying the throttle body while on the engine only does so much. After reinstalling, the hesitation has been cleared up. Not a difficult job to do at all. I too felt an increase in the throttle response! OH, I noticed you have an ANTI LOCK BRAKE light on. Mine failed several months ago. I disconnected wire for a while but went to the salvage yard and picked one up for $15. Problem solved! Gotta love working on your own stuff! Great sense of pride in your accomplishments.

    I've owned many vehicles with the same TBI setup. I have to say it. This is in my opinion a very good design. It really seems to be more reliable than the TPI setup. Now yes, I will admit that the TPI does seem to have a little more output. But if you ask me - this system is by far the best way to go. It has that good Rochester Quadrajet look to it. Maintains good for reliability. Not to mention, if you ever get stuck on the side of the road, you can throw a carburetor on this design and be on your Merry way.

    80's Ford guy mentioned using a timing light to check the spray pattern. You might be able to do the same thing with a LED flashlight, one that has two or three levels of brightness. I think the LEDs pulse quickly to reduce the brightness. Holding one under a water faucet totally changes the look of the water coming out because of the strobe effect. Now that I said this I'm going to try it tomorrow to see if I'm stupid or not. 😁
