Interesting fact about the valentine camp showers. The drinking fountain circuit is somehow involved, so if I manipulate the fountain while the shower is in use I essentially cross the streams and control temperature as well as pressure

There are some fantastic writeups about how to MegaSquirt convert TBI GMs with a kit like this one.

https://www.diyautotune.com/support/tech/install/chevrolet-gm/megasquirt-your-sbc-v8/

https://www.diyautotune.com/support/tech/install/chevrolet-gm/carb-to-efi/

GM TBI with fuel only, distributor still runs ignition: https://www.diyautotune.com/support/tech/install/chevrolet-gm/carb-to-efi/part1/

It is so flexible that there's a ton of information about it but not very much about it seems directly relevant. These write-ups helped bridge the gap for me a lot.

If you are cheap but can ingest a lot of PO fuckery, you could also buy a used partially-assembled MegaSquirt off Craigslist or your local ricer forums to save a few bucks. I've gotten two this way, though I've used none.

Could you not download and flash a base config + fuel map for a TBI and then tweak it for power on the dyno/road tune like almost every other programmable ECU allows you to do?

That's basically what he'll do with MegaSquirt, yeah. If he uses a wideband, there's some really nice auto-tuning functionality as well.

There's still some configuration needed since the MegaSquirt can deal with a bajillion different kinds of sensors. You just need to go through a few dialogue boxes and set what kind of sensors they are, but chances are there's a pre-canned setup for a GM TBI assuming GM was pretty consistent.
