Title: Changing 79 Eldo to Carb set up
Post by: john rutenberg on November 18, 2005, 11:41:07 PM
Can some one with real knowledge tell me. What is involved in changing out the EFI to a Rochester set up? Also, what car would I get the intake from? If I find that my rough idle problem is injectors, emission controls, computer or anything that will cost more that a few hundred dollars. Im changing the system to the regular carb type. Anyone know for sure!!!!!!!!! Thanks John

My 79 Seville 350 EFI runs like a charm, why would you want to change to carburetor set-up?

Well, to be honest I havent gotten the car from the shippers yet but the orignial owner said it had started to not run as smooth as it used too. She had the intake manifold gasket replaced already. Im just leary, since I owned a 78 Seville and it didnt idle well. I kept dumping money into it and still the  slight rough idle. I have just heard these are expensive to fix and hard to diagnose.
