Re: My truck caught fire.
Unfortunately, I think your carb may be screwed after an engine fire like that... They can, and do warp if they get that hot.
Since I really like your truck, and it hurts me almost as much as it hurts you to see the thing burnt up like that, I'm willing to make you a heck of an offer: My 77 currently has a TBI setup on it. I custom built the wiring harness for my 77 pickup, which should be identical to yours, and is a stand-alone system, no integreation with your stock wiring, less a few power hookups, and bypassing your park neutral switch to give it's control to the ECM. Even a downright electrical dummy would be able to install this setup on their truck, as I built the harness with selling it in mind. Not only would it come with all the wiring, but it would come with the throttle body, all the sensors, an old style big cap TPI distributor, which uses the same power hookups and wires as your stock dizzy, the ECM, even fuel lines to fit your truck (with pics to show how to route them) and a fuel pump sending unit with a good fuel pump. Literally everything you need to bolt that TBI setup onto your truck, less the intake (just need an adapter and your existing intake will work fine), and an EFI camshaft (not required, but a good idea) The setup is for a 350, but would probally work alright on a 305, less being a little bit rich. I'll also toss in a new engine harness I've got kicking around from a 79 I once had, and a set of new plug wires I've got as well Price for everything, for you, is 200 bucks, shipped to your door... I can have it all pulled, and on it's way within 2 weeks...
