Now I might be wrong because my 79 Turbo Regal has been in storage for 10 years and its been that long since I've tinkered with it but I have a theory and here it is. Our draw through setup operates on basically the same principles as a roots blower with a carb on top. However they don't use a...

According to the 78 Buick technician turbo training manual the square plug in the bottom right goes to the engine harness and the other one next to it goes to the detonation (knock) sensor.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I might still try it down the road since I already have one that needs a rebuild. Gotta love swap meets. It will be awhile though because the Holley is 3,000 miiles east of where the car is. I'm mainly interested in this to see if it can be used as an alternetive to...
