TBI to carb

what all do i need to do to switch my tbi over to a carb, also i will be swapping in a 350, what about the computer can i do away with it, what all runs off of the computer, what would i have to wire up if i did away with it, or would i be better off leaving the computer in the car and let it keep controlling everything, if you need me to be more specific just ask.

Thanks,

Kevin

if you go with a non ecm controlled carb and hei yes you can eliminate the emc and all the sensers and related wires.

Though if you have an automatic you may want to keep the ECM and some wiring to allow the TCC to lockup, or you can pay for an aftermarket system if you want the lockup.
