You have to switch to a different carb and have to change the distributor as well, i believe thats all thats necassary to do the switch but don't hold me to it, i would get a few more responses. I have just learned this myself.

 

All you need is to change over the carburator, and get a vacuum advance type distributor. Then pull all the emmision crap of there. Should be fairly easy to do. Um Your taking out a quadrajet to put in a quadrajet???!!

 

That is right. Just replace the carb and distributor. I have heard of some guys just replacing the carb then changing the Module in the distributor. You can use whatever type of distributor you want, doesn't have to be vacuum. I run mechanical advance on mine.

 

If he values his fuel economy he will. (vacuum can)

 

I'm under going this same process. So you can use the stock distributor if you switch the module? Also I remember hearing something about having to use a manual converter lock-up. Is that true?

 

No.

Yes. Or, at least a kit from TCI/Summit/Jegs to take over the process from the now-disabled computer.

For a daily driver, this process is a silly waste of money. For a performance build, it is also argueably silly. But, to each his own...
