tpi to carb

Hello



I have put a carb in place of the TPI on one of the birds. I want to keep all the wires with the tpi.

what part of the harness do I have to take out of the car?

Will the car work without the computer (meaning lites, ingnition, the basics0?

thanks in advance

later and

GB

The part that isn't answered is, "I want to keep all the wires with the tpi. what part of the harness do I have to take out of the car?"

The answer is, "Everything that goes to the TPI." That part can be separated from the parts that go to the alternator, gages, lights, etc., without cutting any wires.
