Like I said in another post, to me taking off the EFI and putting on a carb is like taking out your cell phone's touch screen and putting a rotary dial in it's place. How long did it take you to adapt to smart phone/computers? EFI is similar situation, a little different technology with a short learning curve, but much easier than setting up a smart phone! Carbs are a lot more complex to set up/tune properly, need regular maintenance/adjusting and waste gas and power.

There are a number of places that will clean down the wiring harness, reflash the ECU for less than the cost of a new intake and carb. After that it's just PnP.

You know, the basics.....


Oil Pump
Bearings
Rings
A hone
Timing Components
Seals
Etc.




As far as EFI goes..... I am guessing that is an older ECU system, little to no programming for it. It is also a TFI system, no as good as the newer EDIS.


Is it throttle body injection, or sequential? If sequential I might salvage the EFI system, if not I think I would go to the simplicity of a carb and convert to a mechanical distributor.

Thanks
