Re: carb swap computer questions

By removing your computer harness you will be fine. I just did this to my 87. You'll need to rewire a few things though. Your trans runs of the comp so you can either makeshift your own idea or spend the money for the kit. You'll need to rewire your fuel pump and fans. Fans they sell a nice kit for. as for fuel pump I have it on a constant 12v with a switch to kill power. And thats all i needed to do. It alot easier than it sounds. Just keep posting and people will help. People on here are very friendly. Dont be afraid to ask.
