If it's old carpet you don't want to be breathing in any dust/crap or getting dust/crap in your eyes, trust me. I replaced my carpet without wearing anything and my sinuses were screwed up for a good week or 2.

Does anyone have any experience on doing a gm tbi swap? I might be getting a throttle body and ecm from a 92 firebird that the guy pulled off in favor of carb. I'd still have to get a wiring harness from the junkyard.

No experience with a conversion, but one of the better TBI support forums is on thirdgen.org, supporting 3rd gen. F-bodies like the '92 Firebird that is your donor.

So I've started reworking the tbi harness, I've gotten rid of all the emissions stuff and trans control. I'm only reworking it for fuel and spark. I currently have the 4 pin module on it instead of the mopar ignition box so wiring will be easy on ignition side. I just got the tbi unit harness and ecm out off a 92 gmc Sierra. I'm gonna keep carb on it so I can try to make it to the meet next month. I just replaced the starter it was long over due, sometimes it work other times it just spins the starter clutch. I finally added a fuel pressure regulator and after all this she dont want to idle unless she's on the yellow cam.

Before I swap the tbi, I want to drive it a little on the carb. It doesn't want to idle. Does anyone have any initial settings for a carter bbd carb. Its 78 year.
