Brooks" Subject: pieces parts I ordered several feet of fuel rail from Arizona Speed & Marine (They have it for $6/foot) now I'm looking for aluminum bar stock to make injector bosses from. I've looked around a little on the net and I found a couple places that want a minimum order of 50 feet. (That's an awful lot of injector bosses!) Anybody have any sources willing to sell four feet of 1" aluminum bar stock? Just as a little background, I'm converting a single plane manifold to EFI use Ala, Fred B. :) I'm not sure what'll use for a throttle body just yet. I'm thinking of modifying a junkyard throttlebody, or maybe buying a Holley TB... Not sure just yet.

At the local GM training center they have a "black box" that can be used to reflash a PCM off the car, if it happens to lose communication with the scan tool while flashing and goes into permanent dead mode.
