Intake Conversion
What if I wanted to take off my crossfire fuel injection (1984 L83 Corvette) and just replace the entire mess with an edelbrock performer and carburetor? What would that require in terms of working with the ECU, throttle, fuel system, etc?
I'm sorry, kind of new at this. Thanks for the help.

You'll also need a non EFI distributor... What happens is that the car runs better!!! The old crossfire units were far from being one of GM's better ideas... You'll also have to do away with the high pressure fuel pump in the tank and go to a low pressure in tank pump, electric fuel pump mounted externally, or a mechanical pump on the engine.... Pull all the wires back and stow them someplace neatly in case some dummy would someday want to bring it back to original.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Thanks, this should hold me over until I get the new engine in the car.
Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
