Ok i have a 1997 lt1 i pulled from a 97 trans-am that i plan on putting in a 76 camaro, first i want to convert it to carb, what is the cheapest/easyest way to get the distributor to run without the factory ecm/pcm? does anyone sell a distributor that will fit this engine without block modifications that runs as a stand alone unit? or is there somewhere i can get a controller that will run the distributor by itself without needing all the injectors and senceors runing? any tips or info would be greatly appreciated.

 

Did you ever find out the answere to your question here? if so, i would like to know as well! Thanks alot....

 

The best way i found was to get a lt1 carb intake and put a regular rear mounted HEI distributor on, i got the GMPP LT1/LT4 2 plane carb intake and it seems to work, i think mopar also makes intakes for lt1 carb setups, not sure whole else does, i've seen where some people pluged the wholes for the optispark with plugs or welds but i just removed the roter and left it on there to fill the whole.
