shims in points type distributor 1970 350 c.i.

I should be able to test that this is working OK. Maybe I shall get a
9 volt coil. I expect that the one labelled 6v is an incorrect one. I
am still waiting for the spares I ordered. (Christmas/New...

Nothing new here,... except eye candy.

C'mon now, the 30th Anniversary Car of the 25th Anniversary Car? Sounds a

'84 crossfire to carburator conversion

The irony here is that he could spend $445 for an X-RAM manifold and tap
into some engine potential, and not turn the car into a basket case....

'84 crossfire to carburator conversion

Emmision controls have been around starting from 1968, Catalyst requirements
1974-75, so 1984 isn't exactly the beginning.

Bypassing emmision controls? Might as well tear out the ECM, and all the...

Disadvantages:

1. Window has to roll-down completely to open door (massive interior
exposure during inclement weather). Occupant in rear or front who doesn't
plan on getting out is screwed.

2. No...

The crossfire system in the Z-28's only lasted 2 years, In 1984 the LU5
option was dropped and it was back to LG4 and L69 which in 1984 sported
closed loop carbs!!!!! That system was not the same...

The Cross-Fire TBI system on the 84 was two GM 200 series TBI's. The same
TBI's that would appear in GM's medium cars and light trucks 3 years later.

Actually the '84 vette was state of the art for it's time. The rest of GM's

Conversion to carb can be done, but it requires an awful lot of bypassing...

Your removing a lot of stuff that the ECU needs to inputs from, mainly items
that do not exist with a carb. The ECU is set up...
