Re: Tpi to Carb

you need to use a vacuum advance distributor not a computer controlled distributor.

Re: Tpi to Carb

Like tuned said, you are going to need to get a new distributor. The one that is on the car is set up to work with the factory computer. I just recently had to go threw a rats nest of wires in my 89 because the guy I got the car from did a hack job on it when he tried to convert to carb. I removed all the wiring for the pcm and re wired the whole car. So if you need any help feel free to hit me up.
