Re: put a firebird 305 in my camaro electronics gone to hell

Hi,

if the camaro came with a 305 also I don't see what can cause the problem

1- make sure you don't have air leeks (specially on TPI engine).
2- make sure also you have the correct amount of fuel (check pressure on TPI should be 43psi or very close).
3- If the engine is stock, check the timing by disconnecting the ECM correction wire (a brown wire close to your AC can if equiped) and set it up to 6° of advance.

4- do not desperate we'll find what's wrong.

Sorry I only know about TPI engine but this could be good for TBI also.
