CARB to TBI

Its for a SBC and has a starting tune up file near the bottom -


Beater come and get it....

But the rest of the process is identical. Make a few tweaks to the tune up file and it'll start and run a 6 no problem.

Watch the video its really quite good.

These guys are really good about creating DIY setups. I'm really happy for them. THey are building a great rep. and I would definitely purchase from them if I went with a megasquirt

Although this is based on the megasquirt - the process will be simular with different aftermarket ECM - just different tuning s/w and screens to use.

Maintaining the GM electronics is harder unless you have access to the knoweldge and an eprom burner as they are not configurable online live like the aftermarket units.

For a TBI setup the only diagnostic tools needed is a good digital meter and a LED with a 610 ohm 1/2 watt resistor soldered on one lead, add 2 20-24 awg wires 24" long - used to check for pulses.

Really the hardest part of the conversion is installing the fuel lines and pump.
