Has anyone swaped out a TPI with a carb? I am about to do it and need to know if the 82 or 83 camaros or firds ever came with a carb set-up? I don't want to cut up the origanal harness because I would like to sell it with the tpi engine. Any info would be great.

Most 82 and 83 Fbodys were carb'd

carbs are good for street machines and track racing but why swap the tpi if you got it? TPI FTW.
pocket: the reason i'm doin a carb swap is cuz i got the tbi and its gonna be a street/strip car. found a truck to b my dd. so no worries! -- '91 RS, 305 tbi, auto, flowmaster american thunder
big plans! 355 lookin for 11's!

Injection is still a superior strip engine management system
The TPI unit itself is not, but converting it to a very powerful manifold is easy and usually as cheap as a carb swap

I don,t have the funds to convert the computer over to a 575 HP 383 so a carb set up is in my budget Pockets thanks for the info on the 82 and 83 cams.
