Default 1991 L98 TPI to Carb?

Is there any possibility of changing a 1991 Corvette from Fuel injection to Carb?

Yes, it can be done.

I see no benefit to doing so unless you have a particular reasoning behind it for us?

Yes. They can change me into a woman too, but that is out of the question

To answer the question, yes it can be done. Off the top of my head you would need an intake, carb, fuel pressure regulator, distributer, (HEI w/vac advance).

You will need to wire up your fuel pump to come on with ignition, and use the regulator to bring the pressure down, (5-7 psi). May need some other things depending on the tranny.

I would do a search since all of the info is out there. You also would not be subject to all the "old technology - why would you do that" responses.

UNless there is a real good reason to it would probably cost you less to fix whatever FI problem (Im assuming this is why) you are having.
