Im thinking of swapping to a carb an was wondering if ill need to change aany linkage where the gas pedal and transmission cable connects at the tbi to convert it to carb.

 

yes you will need all these parts from a Q jet car

why would you do this?

tbi is a little better on fuel and easier starts especially when cold and so much easier to work on than a carburetor which are commonly problematic and worn out and other issues


i used to swear by carb too, but now that ive owned a tbi vehicle it is so much better easier than carbs

night and day difference better

to convert to carb you would have to drop the tank and swap senders,

remove ECM and wiring
convert to carb linkages and parts, and intake manufold and a carb 87-89 intake is unique to those three years only if you retain the 87 up heads anyways

and there are some other issues too, including that you would need to find and install a large cap HEI distrib

and so on

 

Since you live in LA the swap from TBI to Carb will never pass bi annual CA Smog Check. You will not be able to register in CA.
