Hey really really helpful for an old farmer like who desperately wants to run from the room screaming away from engine electronics. I have an 88 gm one ton with a big block in it and this is exactly what I’m wanting to do to it. Yessir! I wish I could talk to you more because I don’t know as much as you obviously do and I have lots of questions. As I said though this has already been very helpful. Thanks so much.
I converted my 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 because I got tired of only being able to get aftermarket crank sensors for the 5 speed transmission, that would all crap out after 2 weeks to a month. The 5.2L v8 is happy with a Carter AFB and the gas mileage is about the same as EFI but with more power. Really nice set up you got there. Nice work.
That hacked wiring issue is the same reason im converting mine. Im to the point where I have to start separating the wires I keep and the ones that get eliminated. It's a mess.
Quetion. My 89 K2500 4x4 350 has the 700R4 Trans in it. So what did you do about the throttle position sensor on the TBI unit. It appears that you are not using it on your Carb.
I have a 91 c2500 with a 350 and a 700r4, been having some issues with code 24, the Vehicle Speed Sensor circuit error. I've about tried everything to fix it and no luck. I'm going to switch it over to carb and disconnecting the computer. So I would need an Intake, the HEI distributor and the carb itself? I'm fairly new to all of this. Has anyone had issues with the fuel pump? and also the Torque converter solenoid kit you purchased I know that's necessary but the Speed sensor located at the tailshaft of the transmission what would I need to do to make the speedometer gauge work?
Great video. I'm about to do the same on my 87 Squarebody Suburban 454 TBI. I have a new rebuilt Qjet from Cliff Ruggles protege'. Could you give a little more detail, maybe a diagram, on how you did the relay setup for tach/choke/etc? This is exactly what I am doing too, but I'm not so proficient on relays, or where you're pulling the power from and if it's constant/key on/ ?? Thanks.
Question for you. I'm preparing to do this on a 1988 C1500. It's an engine swap but I'm going to eliminate the Factory FI while I'm in there. If I like the engine/Trans combo that I install, I may upgrade to something like the FiTech 600 HP FI system.
Hey I have a 97 vortec 5.7L I put in a 96 S10 Blazer. I had the harness made for the engine from Current Performance and they flashed the ECM and per request removed the EGR junk. It has MFI currently. It appears that the 97 ECM that I had Flashed must of had Anti-Theft in it. The blazer did not. So, I have been told because of that there is no pulse from the ECM going to the ignition or fuel system to start vehicle. I am thinking of gutting all that bs and gong with carburation. Any ideas or help you can to get me through this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Wow a guy that actually like the 4garbage quadrajet, I took that carburetor shit off my 88, nobody wants to rebuild em, can hardly find em at a decent price and they just simply lag in power. Other than using them for racing conditions carbs are garbage. But everyday driving on your regular here's and there's?

Great video and instructions man!
They have the tos kits for Q jets too
I love the Q jet . They have around 800 to 850 cfm. An if they are built right and set up right they are some awesome carbs
Very good choice of carb Motorcraft
Very good video

What is the Ford style solenoid for?
How do you hook up or tack

Just got done doing this with my truck I used a edelbrock 600 though. How's the torque on it?

I have an "88 with a TH400 trans. Any idea what has to be done for that trans?
