How do you convert a 1992 Chevy K1500 from throttle body injection to carburetion including vacuum and distributer and electrical and fuel pressure?

First, you'll need an older intake manifold. If you can get one from a wrecking yard you could see how the vacuum lines are connected. If yo get a performance kit the instructions should point out where the vacuum lines connect. Next, find a high energy distributor that is designed for a carburated 350. Also connect it according to the instructions. Next, you HAVE to do something about that fuel pump. Carbs require about 1/4 psi on the fuel line. Much more than that and you'll destroy the needle and seat and dump fuel all over AND INSIDE the engine. You may be able to fabricate a plate for the fuel tank, but you'd be better off getting an older tank that has the proper fuel line connections. You'll need an in-line fuel pump. You can purchase a universal low pressure pump and connect it in-line. You'll need to find a way to disconnect the control computer under the dash, probably just pull it out. Hopefully you don't have one of those transmissions that is controlled by the engine computer. Some of the TBI engines control the transmission shift points based on the current status of the engine. It's an involved project. I hope you weren't just trying to avoid replacing an oxygen sensor. Good luck.

How much horse power does a 305 V8 fuel economy or emissions motor have?
Depends on the year, carburetion/fuel injection, application, etc.
What year did the El Camino become cumputer contral?
The C-3 (or Computer Controlled Carburetion) System came out in 1980, Throttle Body Injection on some models in 1985
Is gasoline and electrct two fuel dilevering system?
No. Two fuel-delivering systems would be carburetion and injection. Gasoline and electricity are two things that carry potential energy to do work.
What is Multi Point Fuel Injection?
Multi point fuel injection is the latest way to deliver fuel to the cylinder while sticking to ever increasingly hard emissions tests. A multipoint fuel injection system typically delivers fuel to each cylinder individually. (each cylinder has it's own injector) Central port fuel injection and carburetion delivered fuel to a central point.
What is Multi Point Fuel?

Is there any electrical components on throttle body fuel injection?
just on the injectors
Electronic Fuel Injection Vs Carburetion?
If the question is "which is better?", most people would agree that fuel injection is far preferable. Not only is it more readily able to adjust to elevation changes (adjusting fuel mixture), but bikes tend to run smoother when cold, produce fewer emissions, and are generally simpler to keep running well for long periods of time.
What is the wiring diagram for 2000 Chevy 5.7 distributor cap?
Need to know which year you're referring to. The firing order changed when they went from carburetion to Throttle Body Injection in 1987. The firing order for a TBI engine is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.
What does the yellow spanner light mean on the dashboard of a vauxhal meriva?
It means there is an electrical fault with the Fuel injection system.
What does EFIECU stand for in the fuse box?
Electronic Fuel Injection Electrical Control Unit. It's the fuse for the computer in the car.
Application of EVA injection molding process?
EVA injection molding is a versatile process with a variety of applications. EVA injection molding is used in many industries, including the mass production of sporting goods and toys. In the sports industry, EVA injection molding is used to make everything from shoes to helmets.
Where is fuel and air mixed in an engine on a newer car?
Mixing of fuel and air depends on type of the engine whether SI or CI. In carburetted versions of SI engines the charge mixes in the carburetion chamber and the mixture is let into the engine. There are direct injection SI engines(GDI) where the injection takes places at various stages of charge compression stroke. In CI engines the fuel is mixed with air in the combustion chamber itself. It is to be borne in mind that these mixing phenomenon are the same be it a new or old car.
