Im doing a carb swap on my 94 Z28 Lt1.I would like to use my 4l60e trans.Look at this set up and tell me if I can use it on any carb not just a holley?

This is the one I use on my setup. I run a quickfuel carb with no choke provisions.

Does anybody know if you have to drop the engine to do the swap?Can you do it with the engine in the car/

Its tight with the cowl, since ull be installing a dizzy. Thats all i can think of as an issue.

I havent seen one with windshield wipers with a carb swap either, if you drive in the rain I suppose rain X would work

[firebird_1995]

Most of the ones I've seen where guys removed the wipers were on ls cars. There are guys that kept the wipers on. Here's a good link to look at for info. The good thing about this swap is there are quite a few people that have done it.

You will need to snake the intake and dizzy in together, def get another set of hands. Its doable, it can be a pain, but doable.

does anyone have a picture of a 4th gen with carb and dist at the back with wipers still installed?
I cant seem to find any, and have never seen it.
Thanks

What troubles are you having with the opti? It's pretty fool proof unless you're buying garbage optis/soaking them in coolant

Ive bought every brand from A/C delco to MSD to duralast.There all the same going out about the same.I have to say the duralast was the only one that lasted.The Msd one lasted about 10 years.Then it went down.Fron there on all down hill.I posted my problem at this moment in this section.

I've had 4 lt1 cars and I've only replaced 2 opti's both were shortly afyer purchasing the cars because they were soaked in coolant.

Yeah, and without scanning it you won't know. Unless you have an electrical gremlin
