TPI to computer-less carb tips?????
TPI to computer-less carb tips?????
ok,got the tired 305 TPI out of the car. Getting everything ready to install 355 w/ carb. This will be a computer-delete swap. I am using a comp 9000 dist.,edel. carb and intake,and "under-chassis" headers. I have a mallory fuel-pressure regulator mounted on the engine. everything else is reg. SBC stuff. Can anyone help me with wiring? Any tips on ign. wiring,gauge wiring,tach. wiring,fuel pump wiring(remember-this is a TPI car),etc.etc.
Any pointers on this swap will be helpful
Thanks guys!

When I did the swap on my 86 IROC all I really needed to do was get 12v to the fuel pump. The wiring can actually be accessed by pulling up the carpet behind the back seats. You should still have most of the ign and gauge wiring intact as part of the lighting/accesory harness you left in. I remember having a hard time wiring the oil pressure gauge but it's just a matter of finding the correct wire going to the oil pres. gauge and splicing the sender wire into it. I wish I could remember more details but I know for a fact that all the important wiring was still there after I removed the TPI and the whole wiring harness that ties into the computer. Good luck!
