As far as replacement sensors - Most every aftermarket system I have investigated standardized on GM-type sensors, meaning the sensor resistance curves are comparable to what GM used. There are a plethora of variations in the aftermarket regarding wiring connectors, mounting threads, etc, but if you're needing a replacemnt part ASAP you'll probably be able to get something that would work, or could be rigged in temporarily, at a parts store. Looking at a part for a 1990 GM __________ is a good starting point.
And for any home-brewed JY EFI system, unless you get it all for free you better plan on spending at least $500 minimum. A new 45 PSI pump will run $80 minimum, fuel lines and fittings aren't free, you'll want new sensors ($50 easily) - it adds up quick. A junkyard ECU will be $50 minimum, too.
And there's a TON of info and upgrade parts out there for the GM TBI system, and even though TBI is frowned upon it still offers lots of benefit over a carb.
OK, sidetrack over...

sorry to dredge up such an old thread, but did you get your EFI up and running?

I installed it on my 440 a few months ago and I love it. Just answered a few questions and it started right up. There is some manual tuning that you have to do, but it is simple. Took the car on a 400 mile trip a few weeks after the install and had no problems. It was well worth the money, in my opinion. I did an in tank pump install with my kit.
