Yeah you can convert it. TPI is the way
to go, Unless you have a second gen as well
(like me) and you like the blower sticking outta the hood.

If you need any help, parts, questions just ask.

I would leave it as a carb if it is already a carb the switch is not a simple process but as far a 305 goes if it was a 305 TPI I would leave it maybe even a 350 but anything with some serious horsepower I would go carb for sure The only real advantage to TPI is gas mileage. Although there is some Die hard Tpi guys here I have both and for me TPI is not where its at for me.
