Computer by-pass

I have swapt a 350 on my 1987 LG-4 camaro. I wnat to do a complete computer by-pass in order to put a Jets Q-jet carb, and a Mallory ingintion system. However I still want the other things to work.. like gas, temp, oil pressure gauges, the ignition, and power accesories.

Have any body done this??? Any comments... An area that I am worried is on the Electric fan.. will still engage when it reach is operational temperature???

THanks

Mike

Send your CC q-jet to Jet and have them work it over. Tell them your package and they'll even give you a chip to match. You'll get just as good of performance, and you won't have to worry about things that may or may not work.
