Switching over to carbed Reply #5 – January 29, 2010, 08:27:26 PM Well IMHO, replacing the main harness and the others would be a lot cheaper than going to a carbed setup, the parts could be had at the boneyards and on the site pretty cheap, but it's your car, if thats what you want to do then more power to 'ya.

Switching over to carbed Reply #8 – January 29, 2010, 09:45:41 PM Main EEC(computer) harness on a LSC also includes the auto level system and ABS, and is a royal pain in the ass to work with ... If the harness is that bad you have to either replace it, switch to carb, spring suspension, and vacuum brakes, or junk the car...The site you are looking for is probably this one... Looks like it hasn't been updated lately some of the links are dead...http://www.carbdford.com/fletch/default.htm Quote Selected
Switching over to carbed Reply #9 – January 29, 2010, 10:25:13 PM I would find a new harness myself, unless your looking for a good project. Quote Selected
Switching over to carbed Reply #10 – January 30, 2010, 12:00:08 PM Switching a harness is a lot easier than changing intakes, putting a carb on, fuel line issues, and then, as mentioned, you have all the other shiznit that's really not even related.Besides...cars ain't had carburetors since KISS had a hit...think green! :hick: Quote Selected
