The carb is 30 years old, may never have been serviced, and really shitty...nobody but me would tolerate a car running like this, and even I'm a bit weary of it by now.

My plan doesn't include making it particularly powerful, I just want it to start easily, run smoothly, and get improved fuel economy.

so basically a FWD 3.8 FI setup and a new prom chip?

I used to see those fwd 3.8's all over the yards here and most of them had the turbo six emblem on the intake.....even though they were NA

shootermcgavin003 02-23-2011 04:05 AM
anyhow the easiest is a bank to bank type mpfi your basically copying a tuned port camaro/vette set up

Yeah, but the turbo PCMs are tuned for turbos, and besides, the turbo cars aren't going to be cheap donors. I'm looking for another $250 beater I can drive home before I disassemble it.

AFAIK no new chip is necessary, should just work...
