New car-need help

So i just bought a 1986 Camaro Sports Coupe, It had a 305tbi in it and now has a 350 Carb. the previous owner said that it needed a ECU but there was a way bypass the ecu and run it off the carb, now i have no idea how to do this.. soo any help, the car cranks now but does not turn over. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

There was no TBI in '86. Do you mean TPI, or is the car a newer '88-up model?

From the thirdgen.org homepage, on the left side is a link to tech articles. One of those tech articles is about converting from EFI to carb. It is also linked in the "welcome to the carburetor forum" sticky in the top section of the Carburetor forum.

(BTW, if the engine cranks, it's "turning over". It might crank and not start, though.)
