I'm sure you guys have covered this before but I am new to the community so bear with me. I have aquired an 84 Camaro with a fuel injected 2.8. It was my daghters car so its kind of like a reverse inheritance - I got it when it died. It quit on her when the FI malfunctioned and sat for a while, then my son canibalized the electronics for a project Third Gen of his own. Now I would like to revive it for a spare car - it was a fun driver and it would make a nice alternative to the truck or bike option - and I need to know just what I have to gather to convert it to carb induction.
( manifold, carb, distributor, etc. Years and models... ) I already scored a set of 15in Z28 rims and tires so the process has begun.

Thanx' in advance for your help - I picked up a lot of general info already just reading through the posts for the last 60 days.

84, and fuel injected? That's weird... did someone do a motor swap on it? MPFI came out in '85. Check out http://www.edelbrock.com, they sell an intake manifold & carb. Are you looking to lose the computer or keep it? Welcome to the board, by the way! Have fun with the restoration... I did mine a few years ago, and dammit, looks like it's time to take care of my baby again. (sigh)

 

okay here what you need for your build up....



Stock:

Edelbrock Performer 2 bbl. intake.(this is a 2 piece intake)

A vacuum advance carb from an 82 s-10,blazer, with a 2.8.
A vacuum advance distributor from an 82 blazer.

Edelbrock signature series chrome valve covers.

HiPo:

Edelbrock Performer 4 bbl. Intake.(two piece intake)

I did the stock route but i'm going to be going the hipo route soon.

I have a stock Computer Controled Carb I could sell you. (needs rebuild)

I also have my stock 2 bbl. intake too.

I'lll post a pic or two of what it looks like when it done.

I have put on the chrome valve covers yet i'll get more pics when i put them on.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the cfm of the stock 2bbl carb. was?

 

Probably close to 400CFM.
Look for a FEDERAL S-10 Blazer from 1982-85.
Take the carb, intake, swap onto the 3rd gen.
Get going.
I have a federal S-10 Blazer. I know what you're after.
