TBI for Volvo 4 cylinder   Message List

Re: [TBIinjection] Re: TBI for Volvo 4 cylinder

All the connections are to the insert and the cover of the SU just sits on top to cover everything up.  Since I have ZS I will let Rick give you the particulars for the SU when he returns and checks emails.  I am not sure if there is any cutting needed of the dome over the SU or not.

I see that it is possible to still use the "bells" on top of my SU's but where do you connnect the fuel and injector wiring and still use the "bells"?
