Thinking about ditching the EFI and swapping to a carb, my only setback is the 4L60e. As far as I know the only things I need is a Holley carb and throttle position sensor kit, HEI distributor, matching intake for heads and carb (edelbrock performer 2104) and a fuel pressure regulator with the match lines and I'm good? I heard to make the 4L60e shift you need to splice into a few wires that were off the TBI distributor and wire it into the HEI's battery and tach port and it's all good to go, but need confirmation and any tips or things I'm missing.

I saw your same post over on GM Truck Club and decided not to answer, but I had 2nd thoughts...
:badidea: IMHO you're making a mistake going back in technology with a carb but, that's my opinion.:sorrysign:

What’s the reason you want to downgrade to a carb?
I’m old school, I prefer carb because it’s 10000 times easier, gas mileage isn’t an issue and you can produce more power with less issue and money and time. Although I’m not worried about that, I just want to have zero issues with it running and not have to go through an arm and a leg to get it figured out and fixed.
