Going from FI to carb
I had a TPI on my motor but was not happy with it and want to go with a cab, I was wondering what i can remove from the harness and other things not needed. Also what will i do for ignition.

Make sure the TPI is shipped straight to my house. LOL.
You can remove the ECM harness as well as the unused sensors, etc. You will need to change the throttle cable and TV cable. You will need a regular vacuum advance distributer too. You didn't say if you had an AUTO but if you do you will need a TCC lockup kit. Another thing you will need is a bypass style fuel pressure regulator to lower the fuel pressure down to the 3-5 required for the carb without deadheading and burning up the pump.
