I am looking for a 70 - 72 Cowl Hood with a flapper style
cowl. This hood can be in any shape because I am going to modify it for my
car tow vehicle. I know what I can get a new one for, but would prefer a
cheaper dented one. I live in the mid-west.

Chris,
Ya, its throttle body
injection. I get between 18 and if I am really good, 25. I have a small 305
too I thought I would mention. Some of these guys can clarify it more thn I
can I'm sure but here ya go. It's just a system with two fuel injectors on top
very similar to a carb, but its controlled by a computer. This allows for the
more precision than a carb because the computer decides the air/fuel mixture
an dwhat not given the conditions. Then there is tuned port. They came on late
80's camaros and other vehicles that just have a fuel injector for each port.
Mult-port gives you more precise a/f mixtures over TBI, but TBI runs a wet
intake manifold so it stays cooler which is why you see those newer Impalas
with their ice packs on the manifolds at the race tracks. :)

i know this might sound really dumb to you guys, but i
don't know so i gotta
ask...
what the heck is TBI?
my first
assumption is throttle body injection, not sure if this is what it
is or
if i made it up tho. what does it do and how do you get a better mpg
with it? curious because i have just invested in a 72 malibu with a
350/4bbl
and drive her daily.
thanks!
