TBI to carb switch

[shaun89]

im going to be getting a new engine and i dont like my toilet bowl injection and all the computers with it anymore and want a simple carb on my truck, but i have no idea what i need to switch/do to make a carb work.i know i have to leave the computer in for my tranny, but i searched and couldnt find anything, has anyone does this on here?

shaun. come over and look at my buggy. lol. but idk if u have to leave the computer in. i took out all the stuff off of mine and the tranny still works fine. and it was in a 1991 k5 with a th350. idk about 700s tho?? if u do need it youd probably have to swap all the electronics (wire harness) and get an older tranny. idk tho. not sure?

its a 89 k5 with a 700r4...is there any difference between older and newer 700r4s?

You don't an ECM to control that transmission.If you don't care about the lockup converter, you just install it like normal and leave it unpluged. If you want the converter to work, order an aftermarket lockup kit from Jegs, Summit, etc.

I used to tell people that I like my truck stupid..... no computer, no electronics and all...

well now I am getting tired of adjusting my holley truck avenger.... or maybe cuz I never adjusted it right from the beginning. im not sure..... Id love to go fuel injection but dont wanna be bothered.... so I am tempting to just throw my qjet on the shelf on the truck... or adjust the holley.. we will find out this saturday when I have to work on the truck to get ready for inspection....

I say keep the TBI it is a very simple setup. My 90 runs much better than my 86 ever did. Off camber situations it just keeps running. Just my 2 cents

ok ok fine....ill keep the tbi...ill just get the gas sucking holley 670cfm one...that sounds good enough. thanks guys!! you too steve
