Unless you are doing some significant modding you might as well keep what you have and rebuild it (if it needs it). But I went that route, and never could get it to run as good as the original computer controlled carb. I got close, but never as good, it really does work well. And I think you can even get away with some mild mods too like headers, etc.

When I purchased my 81 everything was there other than the O2 which made it run like a dog. I have long tube headers with the O2 in it now and the car runs well. I just purchased an OTC Monitor 85 for 20 bucks on Ebay so now I can fine tune and have the CCC running perfectly. I decided to keep it because it's basically a one year system (I think some of the 80 models had it) and it makes the car unique in that its the last model with a carb and the first with a computer. Just my .02.
