First, turn off the caps lock....

I have to ask, why?

As for what needs to be done? Computer mods to turn off the injection... a lower pressure fuel pump. intake, carb, air filter.

I am just not a fan of the carb... its old school tech. yuck.

Don't forget an old style mechanical distributor and a means to engage the TCC if you have an automatic.

RACE ON!!!

There are a number of carbed c4 owners on here. So if you run into any problems or questions, you can do a search for the topic, and send them a pm, or email. I am sure they would be glad to help, and not try to make you feel bad for what you want to do to Your car. I went carbed, and I would never go back. Randy

online, all caps means yelling. I can't tell you the number of times I have encountered posts in all caps, with little or no punctuation.

A friendly reminder at this point is all it takes to break one of the habit.

Oh, thirdly, chill.

I don't know what year car we are dealing with so I will just tell you what it took on my 84
1. you will need a Fuel Preasure Regulator and a T fitting for the fuel lines one end of the T fitting goes to the suply line the other to the carb and the other to the FPR to the return line
2. Intake (The lower the better)
3. Carb
4. A TC lock up kit and TV cable kit if 700R
5. A pre CPU distributor (75-77 corvette HEI works perfect)
Thats about all I can think of at the moment.
