quench diodes across low impedance injectors?

I'm hooking a 2.2 system to a GM TBI unit with two low impedance injectors.

After reading all the stuff about controlling inductive kick (flyback board, resistors), it came to me that maybe a good thing to do would be to connect a fairly hefty diode across each coil, physically close to the coil ...

Interesting! I hadn't considered the problem in that light. Makes perfect sense, though.

The case you described sets up a much wider functional window that what I had in mind, which is obviously good.

Very good to hear that you use the same p/n pump on a GM TBI installation. You just about can't ...

I'm a "wire guy" replacing the Rochester carb on a Chevy 350 with a MS I driving a stock GM 2 BBL TBI unit. I do fine with basic mechanic work, but I'm for sure no ace mechanic hot rodder.

I got a really cheap deal on what I now believe (having read more in the FAQ and some other sites) to be the ...
