If its still fuel injected it will need an ecu of some form, either factory or after market. This guy in matamata may not be running a computer because he may have converted it to a carbureted setup which doesnt require an ecu.

Yeah, a carg conversion does not need an ecu for Fuel, but you still need something to create spark and timing as they dont have no mechanical advance in the so called distributors.

The carb conversion is very popular with the stock car guys. I'd check with someone who has a stock car and they will fill you in.
Also, try Kelford Cams: they do some stuff for the 1UZ too.

Although why'd you want to do that in a street car I don't know...
