Default '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
wiring that goes with it. You can't cherry-pick with the ECM. You did plan
on rewiring the car, didn't you? Your digital dash?... I guess you'll
replace everything with analog gages, 'cause non of the electronics will
work.

Classifying it as a street rod maybe false thinking. IIRC that car must meet
the emmission standards in effect at time of manufacture. Federal Law
prohibits removing any type of emmision control device when it is operated
on any public roadway, in any juristiction of the U.S. that receives Federal
Highway Funds.

700R4: Electronic controls? yes and no. A little jewel call a VSS, wired to
the cluster/ECM. You'll have to reverse engineer this system.

And you better consider what you're going to do with the fuel pump/delivery
system. That carb you spec'd WILL NOT handle the pressure from that
electronic pump!

Your $500 quote is laughable!

You'll spend that just to get the wares from JEGS. Then you'll spend at
least another $2K in misc. parts and labor to get it to run.
