Hey there...

I have a project going on for this winter on my 87 Camaro.
My car has a 305 computer controlled carbed engine with roller cam.
the car is a Sport coupe so it also has Air condition.

I have bought ALOT of parts but I am still a little bit worried about getting all the parts, so I hope some of you can help me complete my list.
I also have some few question when it comes to the fuel and fuel sending units.


This is the parts i have:
Lower intake manifold from 87-88 (with cold start injector) (center colts are right for my engine)

Upper plenum from an 86 Camaro IROC

Throttle body from an 86 Camaro

Runners from an 86 Camaro

Fuel Rails from an 86 Camaro

Complete wiring set from a 88 Camaro

ECM and PROM from a 88 305TPI Camaro

New TPI in-tank fuel pump

Air intake duct for Camaro with new air filters

Maf-Sensor



This is the parts i have newly bought and it is on their way:
New sensor kit from TPI parts.

New Injectors for 305 engine

New gasket's and o-rings and new bolts for the whole TPI setup.

New EGR valve


I think that mayby all, but now here is my questions:
Since I already have a COMPUTER CONTROLLED carb on my engine, that is almost like a TBI. My fuel pump sending unit has 4 outlets that goes forward to the engine. That means I don't have to change this right?
Because I've heard people said that if I am converting from carb to TPI the fuel sending unit must be changed.

And what about brackets and stuff?..Do I need any extra brackets when I already have a Camaro?. I mean, the throttle cable bracket?..is that the same one on carbed engines that it is on TPI engines?...Are there any other brackets I need for my swap?.

And I know that I have to change my In-tank pump, so the only way there is to DROP the tank I guess?...

What about the Distributor?..I have a 87 Camaro with roller cam. Do I need to change my distributor to get my TPI setup working??...


This is a lot of questions so I don't expect you to answer all of them, but please help me as much as you can with some of them..

Thanks...

 

Just a few thoughts:

-Do you have OS Sensor and IAC Valve?
-On the MAF you also need Burnoff Sensor and Pwr Relay (Harness should support these)
-I've heard of some being able to drop the exhaust and let the rear axle hang all the way down (without unbolting) and get the tank out, other wise you drop the rear axle or cut a hold behind rear seat to get access to fuel pump.
-My distributor has an Ignition module and Pickup coil with an external Ignition coil. (not sure if your distributor supports these or not).

Sound like a project!

 

Yes I have an O2 sensor from before on my engine but I am buying a new one in the sensor kit that I have ordered. IAC valve is also included in that package....

Yeah I think I can reach the tank if I am getting car on jackstands, and loosening my rear end. Then I would be able to reach the two straps and get my tank down...I hope so....
