Default TBI question!

Im putting a 350 in my 3rd gen F-body the motor is a 69 sbc, was wondering what year TBI intake will fit on first gen small blocks? and what size TBI throttle body would work good for a very mild 350. I really want to keep the TBI instead of carb just because of ease and price, also it is my daily driver and not sure of how great a carb would be. Thanks in advance.

sounds good, ill probably go that route since it is quite easy to switch from tb1 to carburated, and tbi does kind of suck....
