I am pretty sure that you 2.8 computer is way different then the 305 computer.

I am sure someone else has more words of wisdom.

Once again, I am not 100% sure, but I would bet that the timing and the carb are going to be WAY off.

What year car is this going in?

Once again, I am not 100% sure, but you may be able to get a v8 computer and use it. I wish someone else would post.
