| Personally I’d just put most of a litre bottle through if it’s not been done before or you don’t know when it’s been done. I usually almost empty the reservoir on each wheel about three times ... |

| I did a 3.5 efi swap about 27 years ago, all standard parts, there was 4 or 5 wires to connect and the adapter plate, probably engine mounts. Perhaps it was a simpler engine I had? It did 18mpg. |
