I have an 83 Trans Am that the previous owner took out the computer and replaced the distributor with a vacuum advance version, and the carb with a non-ccc Q-Jet. Since I will drive this car absolutely everyday in all sorts of lovely Michigan weather, I was wondering if the car would be more reliable with the computer setup. how hard would this swap be?(the wiring harness has not been hacked) Does anybody have a computerized carb and distributor they want to sell or trade me? Thanks for any responses.

 

IMO, you won't make it any better with a CC Carb. The computer doesn't control all that much. It still uses a regular choke(for cold weather starts) and has most of the problems you have with normal carbs. Are you having troubles with the non computer carb?
