Re: How hard is a Carb to TBI conversion?

Stick with the Q-jet over a stock TBI system. The only advantage I have ever noticed is better cold weather starting and possibly a MPG improvement. However, the Q-jet is easy to work on and when in good condition it will start good and have more power than any TBI I have driven. The TBI just dies about 4k RPM's. Not having all the sensors and problems coming along with them is priceless IMO.
The Holley TBI is a better performer. Not cheap but a nice system. Tunable and can adapt to future mods well. Still more aggravating to work on than a carb though.
