Wait.... You are replacing your 95 v6 engine with a stock 91 318? Thats
almost a step down in power, lol. Your 95 is mpi, yes it has a throttle
body but it is a dry one, flows no fuel. There is an injector for each
intake runner in the imntake manifold. I posted how to convert the v6
harness over to a v8 harness a few weeks ago, Do a search in the archives.
The swap is very simple to go from a magnum to a magnum.
