Hello, fellow OBS heap lovers,
Like everyone else here, my rig is aging and requiring lots of hoses, sensors, wires/ connectors, and components be replaced...
I'm old school and still love the simplicity of carbs over EFI and all its BS sensors and attendant problems. So, when I change the intake manifold gaskets, I thought, why not ditch all that EFI crap and put in a new Edlebrock Performer manifold and carb setup?
Watched many YouTube ya'hoos pontificate on this subject. Most agree that they are happy with the change out. Problem, there is much conflicting info on revisions to wiring to get the computer to work correctly. The biggest issue being the shift control of GM's electronic tyranny...
I am aware there needs to be a Throttle Position Sensor on the carb. But, do I need the $700.00 tyranny control box or just alter certain sensor wires? Please advise if you have any "first hand" knowledge to impart. It would be greatly appreciated!
