tbi to carb

I searched all over the archives and couldn't find a good answer. I need to know exactly what modifications it takes to turn my 305tbi into a 350 with carb. I'm talking mainly about what I have to do with the computer and the intake and things to make the carb work right. Thanks

you don't turn a 305tbi into a 350carb'd.

you remove the 305 & tbi,
then install a 350 with intake, distributor, and carb.. along with an inline fuel pump to match your carb like a CArter electric.

I know you can't "turn" a 305 into a 350. I am getting a 350 and wanted to know what to do to use a carb instead of the tbi.

Here is what i did with my Cross fire car when I swapped it. I found the power wire for the electric fuel pump and wired it to a switch on the dash(ultimate anti theft system)and just routed it to a AFPR and there you go all you need is a vacuum advance dist and a 350 with a carb.

There is a whole article in the Tech section on how to convert a TBI to a Carb. I think it is writen by jester. It should tell you everything you need to know.
