    How would you make a TBI 454 as analog as possible?

    Thanks so much and will do if I can get this off the ground soon. Cart updated! That shifter is perfect. I want to stick with a 4L80E and 3/4 ton if at all possible. 4x4 is a must so really only looking at K2500s. Yeah. I'm thinking I may call into Summit support to ask a few questions like...

    How would you make a TBI 454 as analog as possible?

    The 6.5TD with the mechanical fuel pump (P400 as well) is exactly what I had before, though stock auto trans, and part of me wishes I hadn't bartered it away. But perimeter fences need mending. That guy got a cool old truck with a lot of sweat equity into it and I got some additional security...

    How would you make a TBI 454 as analog as possible?

    Excellent point and agreed. I think I found a compatible ratchet shifter in the attachments above but please advise otherwise. Good educated link- thanks very much. Hopefully, probably, I'm overthinking and realistically worrying too much. But for a few extra grand, it's worth it for me to...

    I appreciate the reply. Manual choke actually sounds cool, antiquated as it is. Added what appears may work with a choke kit for a pull lever mounted on the dash. Not too dissimilar from the intrigue and preference for manual transmissions which I have, and wish these two Burbs had. I think that...

    How would you make a TBI 454 as analog as possible?

    (first see my reply to you above) I'm sure these aren't the exact parts in the attached image, but taking a stab at it. Can you or someone please confirm specifically what I'd need for a 1994 454? These costs don't scare me. Though something I'll probably work through gradually between now and...

    How would you make a TBI 454 as analog as possible?

    Much appreciated- I didn't see that area at first. That's probably more applicable for this. And really, joking aside, just trying to get some info and feasibility on maybe an interesting technical angle here without trying to look like a nutcase which I'm really not (or that's actually what...

    How would you make a TBI 454 as analog as possible?

    Is it though? Seems like a pretty popular route for those fed up with troubleshooting EFI hassles and tunes from the searches that I've done here. Maybe you weren't aware. Again, going back to my concerns and objective here, sticking with EFI (or let's face it- picking a far nicer GMT-800 for...

    Nah, still here- it was only last night I posted. :) Been hitting refresh a few times today. Just now had time to respond to a few posts here. Btw on only having 1 message to my name at posting, I actually I had many more posts on here back in the day (see join date) but looks like these counts...

    How would you make a TBI 454 as analog as possible?

    P.s.: Would also consider (or even prefer) a 95-99 K2500 EFI Suburban if it can also be retrofitted back in time to a carb setup. My Dad has a '97 454 I might be able to talk him out of in that case. But probably more analog gauges and displays vs. digital the better.

    How would you make a TBI 454 as analog as possible?

    Looking for a 1992-1994 (1995?) Suburban K2500 with a TBI 454 and have found a couple I'm considering to buy. Wanting an old workhorse rig I can haul my family in as a backup vehicle or for camping that is as simple as possible. Not a daily driver. No EFI, no GMT800s, just straight up...
