TBI to carb question....

I've been readnig the write ups here in reguards to the TBI to carb conversions and I have a few questions. I currently have a 86 Camaro with a 2.8 and have been thinking of making the change, but what benefits are there? Also, not being all that savy with knowing what to get, what parts should i look into getting to do the conversion? Of course I know carb and intake, but does anyone have any sugestions as to wich ones to get? I'll be having a shop do the labor, but I want to supply the parts. Dont like the idea of possibly having a shop charge me priemium prices for a peice of crap product, lol.

Thanks in advance.

Re: TBI to carb question....

the TBI to carb info is mostly for V8s. Edelbrock does make an intake for carbureted 2.8s, but then you need the '82-'84 computer and distributor. And on your 2.8 you'd find too little difference to feel.

So basically, until my other engine is built, it's not worth making the conversion?
