ECM needed?
Ok. Do I need the ecm hooked up for anything if I am going to go to a carbureted motor. I am getting rid of the fuel injection. I am going to replace the l98 with a 355 that I have already built. I understand that I need a TV cable and a fuel pump. Is there anything else I need?
P.S. Look at the fore sale forum if you need any sensors or injection parts for the 85....Most of my stuff is new, I just cant figure this motor out!

Leave ECM to run gauges and speedo unless going analog gauges. Just remove redudant wiring leaving wires to sensors

Do you also plan on going to mechanical brakes and crank start?
Geez....the TPI is an easy system to diagnose and repair, all it takes is a manual, a few inexpensive tools, and a systematic approach.

Well I didnt want to get that started.... Its not like I am going to a Ford engine or anything. I just dont have the money with a new child to be spending anymore trying to FIGURE OUT my TPI setup. So as I always say, you spend your money the way you want and I will do the same. Anyways, thanks to you guys that have been a help!

Do you already have the 700? I have a 750 DP on a BBC and it fulfills its needs. May be a little big. Maybe jet it down a little bit.? Good luck.
