just out of curiosity, why are you changing from TPI to carb? that's taking a step backwards

I would rather have a lt1 intake over tpi. I thought about swaping to a lt1 intake. I figure it would take me forever and It would never run quiet right so I decided to stay carb. Maybe someday it will get FI again who knows.

you need a non-cc dist, carb, intake, fuel pressure regulator, or a mech pump with a carb sump in the tank.. thats pretty much it as far as parts are concerned.. as far as carbs not being reliable my cars are extremely reliable and start with half a turn of the engine.. does ur efi car do that?
