I need some help please, I might be buying a 1988 gta, and the person I am buying from converted it to carb. My question is how hard is it to switch back to tpi? Actually would rather buy something like the stealth ram. Can anyone tell me what i would need to go back and possible est. cost? I tried searching but I got a bit lost.

Looking the pic its hard to give a estimate cause its unknown whats been done.
Just by the pic, they have changed the whole front accessories also. Running V belts, A/C semi removed, dunno what the status of the fuel system is, or the wiring harness.

I usually avoid buying cars with conversions such as that cause you are not sure of what shortcuts were taken, and they could hurt you down the road (no pun intended).

 

Thanks for the info. I think i will pass on this one though . I would want to go back to tpi and a/c sounds like a headache.

Thanks again,

Im selling my whole 350 speed density tpi setup for $400 in intersted .....everything you need down to the bolts..

 

Harness, sensors, and ECM included?

harness, sensor, ecm everthing its on right now on turns on....

its not that hard just bolt everthing up ... if you never done it before you going to need help

 

If Coyotesa doesn't take it, I'm quite interested. I got a bucket of questions and pics would certainly be nice first though. I have an old pickup I'd like to de-carb.

 

Well pm me cause he hasnt said anything.... First come first serve...

 

coyotesa im in the rio grande valley... harlingen texas to be exact

 

Ok, I havent responded because I am still looking around for a car. I am interested in the gta with the carb but it does have digital gauges as well and I dont like those at all...
