Yeah, Randall's right.  The whole point of throttle body injection was that
it didn't care about firing order as was a simple upgrade to carburetors
back when the change to FI was going through the industry.  Now
multipoint/sequential injection is a different animal, and that definitely
takes firing order into account.

What a pity to lose the elegance of an SU carburetor for a TBI system,
though...
