TPI Swap Probs
I swapped from a 305 to a 350 and used the 350-auto chip. Now Ive got SES light on and the computer's in "lip hme" mode. What chip can I use for a 350-5speed swap and everything work properly? Also will a Corvette TPI 350-manual chip be the answer?

You could get by with the stock 305tpi 5speed chip for know and raise the fuel pressure a little. The auto/manual chips are different i know that, the extent i don't know. I would guess that the vette 350-manual chip would work considering the computers are the same from camaro to vette.
I used a manual chip in my v6-auto for a while with no problems. I would call a reputable chip company (ed wright) and tell them your problem and see what they say.
good luck.
