Hi Mac,
EFI complete is $995, the Fuel Command Center complete is $395 plus $55 for shipping both. I don’t know what someone might charge to install it for you but it is certainly less than a day (4-6 hours plus running around time) to install on any of the HEI engines. Don’t know about the points engines. You will need to buy the adapter plate of your choice ($30 to $80), the throttle adapter pieces if you don’t have something suitable laying around (~$20 for the pieces at my local NAPA) and whatever you need for hoses or fittings for your particular installation.

Thank you kindly, Jerry.
Since I have a basically non-functioning carburetor, going whole hog for F.I. might make more sense.

We use the 3/4 " thick adapter from MR, GASKET
#1932 on the MSD Throttle bodies.
It comes with bolts and nuts, also a base gasket for the Intake.
Since these units are lower profile , we find it works on our coaches.
We also supply the snorkels kits for remote air filters.
Not smart enough to put up the link.

FiTech says it doesn't play to an HEI, but in emails have noted how one might work around it. Since there's no knock sensor, I have to wonder how much benefit a spark control would give over a properly curved (Patterson) distributor. They also say it fits a Q-jet manifold, although in the email they aren't clear as to whether an adaptor is necessary or not. The CEO and employees have fairly good c/v/s on their web site.
