The factory EFI system used from 1975-'76 on 500 cubic inch engines is a ported injection system which operates similar to the familiar Chevy TPI. It looks like a large throttle body on an intake with separate fuel injectors. Each cylinder has its own injector mounted in the intake runner near the intake gasket area with a common fuel rail feeding all eight injectors. This system was also used through 1979 on the Seville as standard equipment and as an option on full size cars.
