Hey guys!
i want to convert my 1990 camaro iroc-z from 5.0 tpi to a carbed engine, what is the trick to get it running with the chipped key?? do i just leave the ecm and every thing should work?? thanks

 

Once you have a carb, the computer is gone so VATS ( the chipped key ) doesn't work anymore, all you have to do is bypass the starter relay

Do a
Lots of info on carb swaps available on here

 

I have a column from my old 91 in my 86 with a carbed 350 ( when I got the 86 the key was broke off in the ignition switch.) had to spice wiper control( different between years) but the vats column works fine. Hope you had luck with yours

 

VATS column does NOTHING , because with a carb swap there is nothing looking for a input signal from the VATS module
which means having the chipped key ( or not ) is irrelevant.

 

My point exactly
