TBI or Carb

[Manch]

Im workin on gettin my motor put together for the ultra low buk K5 and I can go with either aTBI setup or a 650 edelbrock.I want to use this thing for crawlin,so I can see the advantages of TBI,but something has to be said for the simplicity of a carb.Any imput would be helpful.

Thats why I went with a JET Performance Stage 2 Q Jet

Is that just a modified quadrajet

for the most part yeah. Recalibrated idle, etc, helps take advantage of mods done to motor.

TBI would be the better choice if you are going to be in off camber situations. Not that complicated compared to a carb and never have to worry about hesitation, sputtering when offroad. But I guess it is personal preference really.

^^^^ agreed. TBI is simple and reliable. Between the 2 choices, no question....TBI

I'll have to check to see how much of my harness is still there.When I got the truck it was carb,but the injector wiring was layin on the inner fender.I think TBI is the way to go.Like you said nothing to worry about.

TBI is your only choice.
650 Edelbrock is a terrible carb for "crawlin".

If TBI is in the options than theres no argument.
