Looks like you've got yourself an '89+ TPI (no CSI hole in runners), so you should be able to use any external coil GM distributor made for the '87 and later F-bodies, C-1500 pick ups, etc, so long as you have the harness clips for that style distributor. The coil doesn't have to be anywhere in particular... Distributor hold down clamps can be had from SDPC for about a buck IIRC...

First I would take the whole thing apart and take the lower intake, runners, plennum, and tb to a mashine shop and get it beaded so it will be all nice and clean when u start.
Second you might want to send off the injectors to be rebuilt or you could just buy a new set of accel or ford injectors they are both in the low 200's for a set.
Some of your sensors look to be broken or pretty ruff. If they are broken or coroded i would replace them.
Not sure about the distributer hold down maybe u can use the tbi one?
Do you have the computer and harness if not you will need thoughs.

Oh also what r the sensors on the front of the manifold and what is the name of the sensor u said was broken off. Whats the names of all the sensors u think ill need. Is there a webpage or something newhere that shows it apart and all the parts like a diagram?? Ne1 know a good company to buy all the sensors from ,gaskets,injectors maybe they have a kit?? I think i might get my tbi harness made for the tpi what company is good at that. Thanx
OK went and got some numbers here r a few off the top of the fuel rail
0237 JYD
17087254
75
81467
Here is the manifold casting number if it helps i think its right it was hard to read
10088015

BTW, unless you get an OEM harness (which can also be found on Ebay), get a Painless Wiring harness. I worked with one of those on a friend's S-10 and it really was painless!!!

I see you've got a 90+ TBI car. The best bet is to repin your existing harness for a 730 and add the additional injector plugs.
You'll need a yellow 32 pin connector to do the 730 thing.
Wiring diagrams can be found at the www.diy-efi.org FTP site. Or I can send you copies via email. cheers, BW
