hadn't heard of that. Must have been about the end of the line for the 307. I think they killed it around 1989 or so, whenever they stopped making box B body cars.

As I understand it (and I'm sketchy on the details), it was a 2-bbl throttle-body type of unit, and had small runners to match the tiny ports of the roller-307 motor.
Someone on an Oldsmobile list I'm on had swapped a 307 into a Chevy S-10 Blazer, I think, and had one of those prototype intakes, and set up a TBI 307 system. Can't remember how he controlled the thing, though....
But, yep, I think it the 307 was last used in 1990. In mid-sizers and full-sizers, it was used in Buick and Olds cars, whereas the Chevy and Pontiac vehicles typically used the 305, but in B-body wagons, the 307 was always used, and not the 305. At least to the best of my recollection.1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria 2-door Coupe - perpetually "sort of" for sale...

Not sure - I think Olds and Chevy timing maps are different, and the GM computers control the timing advance as well - but don't hold me to all of that. The heads/combustion-chamber-shape are supposed to be different as well, valve angles, etc. I don't know how much that affects the timing needed, potential pinging, etc.
Not sure about the Chevy, but I think the Olds 307 didn't get a knock sensor until maybe about the last year or so . . my memory's REALLY sketchy on this... and it's NOT like I made any sort of study of it - just sort of half paid attention years ago when someone described the project... on a listserv1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria 2-door Coupe - perpetually "sort of" for sale...

it could be made to work, though it may need some tweaking on the fuel and timing curves. Its probably close enough to make it go though.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
