Is that a Weiand tunnel ram? Been awhile since I've seen one of those. Just curious, what does the hood look like, has it a scoop or just a big hole? Good luck on the fire-up.:thumbsup:

What alteration did you need to do>> to interact with carb. Does it constantly run somehow. What controls it

As I suggested to you elsewhere.You run a bypass regulator using the stock return line.
Pump runs exactly the same as stock ( need hot wire to pump relay from key if ECM removed ) Regulator drops pressure to down to carb pressure .You can even wire in the stock oil pressure switch as backup should the relay fail

mines on a switch, Im changing that because I think its a "rig". The coversion was done when I got the car, Im hooking it up like vetteoz said because I hate the switch, but it dose work if you want a simple solution.

what a shame to retrofit to older technology. I would be afraid of some hackers workmanship, i wouldn't have bought it even if i wanted carburetion. I think an earlier model car would have been a better choice, or do it yourself.

Race on!!!

some of us dont like the new technoiogy but want a C4, and its cheaper to buy someones project, let the first guy spend the money. I got my car for $3200 & I have a stack of invoices that add up to $7700 not including what he paid for the car, so I can deal with some of the hack work & fix it myself. When Im done Ill have a killer car for aroun $5000, & Ill make money if I sell it.
