    S.B.C. Carburated to TBI.

    that is what I was implying the ECU part is way easy, just pick yur poison and Git-R-Done. not everybody is a SB nut case like me, but if I can get an LT to work in these trucks anything is possible.

    Still have a bad miss

    I would start with a compression test, next check for end play on the crankshaft, as "truckin" is hinting at. since you have done all of the upper end stuff time to check the bottom end. It could "by a long shot" be an over active knock sensor or a bad rod bearing, but not perceptable to you...

    on quadrajets

    I love the way Qjet's operate, stomp the pedal - bog down - the all heck gets turned loose as you leave the guy beside you with a WT? look on his face. one very big mistake and largely unknown problem is the primary metering rods and power valve assy. be sure to pull it out, use either steel...
