try checking the vacuum hose that runs from the rear tbi too the map sensor

I have a 1982 Corvette and I'm thinking the same of replacing the engine with a new carburetor engine. But what do you do about the TCC electrical connection to the transmission?

Options

Keep the CF (read sticky at the top for mods)

Change to TPI intake or LT1 (yes it will fit under the hood)

Go old school carburetor

LSX

WOW! This thread has spanned seven years, that's crazy for just a "what to do with CFI". I'd keep the CF IMO, but if you MUST swap it, go with EFI setup or do LS swap. My 82 runs rather well.
