So far what I've gotten from this thread is that most agree with me in general; that the Dodge TBI is crude, has less than stellar reliability, no four barrel versions were ever offered limiting you to the air flow of a two barrel, and aside from almost never failing to start, gives lousy performance, but that there are stalwarts here wanting to give it a go for many and various reasons of their own.
Chances are that before I dump the tons of money in my current pickup that it currently needs (as opposed to dumping that same amount of money in my Duster or '26 T), I'll probably buy a 10 year newer one with a Cummins. But saying that I did freshen it up and kept the TBI, it does seem logical to trash the Dodge Computer(s) and use a suitable GM ECM to run the Dodge throttle body and injectors. If someone came up with a harness allowing the GM ECM to plug and play, I'm sure they would be able to sell some here.
