Walter,
If it comes down to the wire, I'll give Gary a call. I've got a little time 
yet though.

TWM and Weber I believe both make EFI throttle bodies to bolt on a Solex 
style manifold. They are a little more than I would like to pay though.

Also there is a fellow here in Vancouver who has designed from scatch and 
made available an EFI manifold for the L series 4cyl @ around $400.

We already have the Solex/weber style manifold, and I keep hearing these 
'stories' of people buying m/c tb's for $75 - $100, Complete with tps, 
regulator, fuel rail, and injectors. Which keeps it pretty simple. And 
cheap.

Trying to keep the budget as small as possible as we have some time while we 
sort out other odds and ends on the car.

Toby,
Thanks for the heads up. Never thought of checking the rule book, other than 
finding out if they allow EFI in that class. Wonder if there is anything 
about M/C throttle bodies? Time to do some reading.

Kendel,
Just curious, What size are the ITB's, and what are they off of? (And how 
much did they set you back?)
