Hi Mayf,
  Lookup Speeduino.   Arduino Mega  can do it.
  I was working on that for a GM 2bbl TBI a few years ago.. and got 
distracted.
  I may be able to get re-invigorated if someone else is working on it...

                    got the EFI bug some time ago when I saw a series of
                    Hagerty Youtube videos in which a Fairlane (5-bolt)
                    289 was rebuilt to a 289 HiPO-ish state and then put
                    it in Brad Phillips Tiger.  The plan was to do the
                    engine swap and get the engine going with a Holley
                    4BBL setup and then switch the 4BBL for a Holley
                    Sniper EFI throttle-body unit.  Brad got his Tiger
                    going with the 4BBL setup but, to my knowledge,
                    never did the Sniper install.  Brad's engine swap
                    was recorded in a series of 12 Youtube videos.  Here
                    are some links:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;color:black">I
                    have been making plans to make my car "EFI-ready". 
                    That is, I want to have a plan for each aspect of
                    the conversion.  Current plan is to replace the OEM
                    fuel pump with the high pressure pump and to house
                    pump and pre and post filters in the same area as
                    previously housed the OEM pump.  I have made up a
                    heat shield for the right-side muffler to keep from
                    roasting the pump.  Fuel return line will go into
                    the top of the right fuel tank.  I can provide
                    pictures of the return line fittings if you are
                    interested.  I will be doing my own harness.  The
                    Holley harness is bass ackwards for a Tiger,
                    assuming battery up front.  Fuel relay and fuses for
                    fuel pump and EFI will be located with the pump. 
                    Anticipating that the fuel pump and injectors will
                    want to suck more current than the OEM generator can
                    provide, I have done an alternator conversion.  I
                    already have a wide band O2 sensor installed for a
                    PLX O2 readout so the O2 sensor is already there. 
                    Control of distributor advance is optional with the
                    Sniper so I don't plan to do opt for that
                    initially.  Someday I would like to add it though. 
                    Should improve driveability and maybe 
performance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

                        have  owned my Tiger since Jan 1967, bought it
                        used.  Has been sitting quietly now for quite a
                        number of years. And I want to drive it a bit
                        more now. But carbs are so old fashioned, lol.
                        So, seeking information from the groups
                        experiences, those owners who have replaced the
                        carb with an electronic injected version: either
                        2 bbl or f bbl versions. If 2 bbl then I would
                        just use the cast iron intake manifold. If 4 bbl
                        I need to know which is best for a bone stock
                        260 cid which so far in my ownership  has never
                        been apart.  I tend to lean toward a 4 bbl
                        version as I have a 5 bolt 289 with some
                        performance capability and I would need to buy a
                        manifold for that.  I also have my 260 LSR motor
                        which has the full treatment and is a real race
                        motor.   So, seeking real world experience on
                        what and which brands are most user friendly
                        while putting out power for driving around,
                        having some fun (again).   <o:p></o:p></span></p>
