Make sure you have all the wiring you need in the new car. The wiring for the 
fuel pump and the main power relay may be missing in a car that was converted 
to carbs. The FI needs a fuel return line, so make sure that is still there and 
not damaged, or filled with dirt. You'll also need the return nipple in the gas 
tank, so make sure that is there.

You'll need the fuel pump relay and the FI main power relay, and all their 
wiring, and, of course, the FI wiring harness, which changed from year to year.
