thinking about scrapping the bbk setup going with a carburator

[KAWMAN2]

Are you talking about the BBK SSI upper and lower? What issues are you having? What does the 331 consist of parts wise? What does the fuel system consist of parts wise (stock and aftermarket)? What is the induction system consist of (filter to throttle body)? Which ECU and is it tuned (if so how - chip, quarter horse , etc.)?

Also, have you looked into what is necessary to go to a carb setup just fuel system wise? This isn’t typically a cheap swap with the fuels system, carburetor, intake, distributor, and ignition system (if you don’t already have a box) just to mention the big ticket items. Once you get that sorted out then are you concerned with the air cleaner hitting the hood? Intake height, carburetor height, and air cleaner height all work into this.

Lastly, if it’s an automatic trans car you have to account for the kick down linkage.

The FFR challenge car has extra tube frame around the driver and an aluminum fire wall but the tool cage make it easy to ground

As it turns out, the barn wiring job is junk, squizing the computer harness. Make the car stall or run better, I have installed a couple of Ron fancess harnesses no fun getting to old this! I’m trashing the sbi and carburating it. I just want to take my girlfriend out ina ac hot rod, after driving a for cobra in the Florida sun for 12 years I have had enough, I guess the bbk ssi has some value car ran great until I ran into this , like I say I’m 72 and had enough!
