furthermore why go gm when efi from a 3.9 would do just fine and be calibrated to the displacement of the /6 also those carbs arent real hard to rebuild although if you happen to have one of the goofy aftermarket smogged 1bbls they are a pita to tune. -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author the easiest way would be to contact either clifford performance http//cliffordperformance.net/ or rance efi http//www.rancefi.com/ both are pricey btw. adapting a gm system could be more trouble that rebuilding the carbs which makes me wonder why not rebuild the carbs ive rebuilt many of them over the yeas and would be glad to help you. budd cochran hi guys! i have spent several days up in the boonys after fixing the 86ish ram problem progressively corroding connection between egr solenoid and egr i am now going to get the other 86 /6 ram going but the carb is in the evil ram and they arent good carbs anyway does anyone know about a list of good candidate chevs that have 6s to convert a /6 to electronic fuel injection i plan on keeping this one. and any other helpful ideas on this project thanks rach *** posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com *** .
