On the astro van v6 the temp sensor was on top on the intake manifold and the sender for the computer was on the driver side by the head Now when I put it in on the suburban motor 350 the water ...

That was plan A, will do the TBI rebuild and will see how it goes. i figure, if i get a nice Cone shape jet spray, i'll keep it in there, if it doesn't, i'll get a new fuel pump
