Greg,
   I agree that if you want to go to a multiport setup (for the 75's) you could
get a complete system out of a Mustang 5.0 or similar.  As for the AMC...there
is nothing available (stock that is), although there is an aftermarket piece but
very expensive.
   Yes, I do not believe that the TBI system will be a huge improvement over a
well tuned carb.  I am just looking for a few more mpg and a car that will be
easier to start when it is cold.
   The Jeep guys seem to like the system pretty well.  I soon will see.....and I
might even tell you guys about it....

                                                                Jamie

If you do all that I suggested, or buy a complete system from a wrecked car.

I'm curious as to how much real world gains you're going to get, if any,
over a carb / manifold swap.

I'm not familiar with this unit, but 'TBI' implies same / similar to the
Chevy unit, which has negligible real benefits over a carb / manifold
without other mods.
