Do you have to upgrade ignition system? Does the nutter bypass- bypass the computer and run off the ignition module. What about all the pollution control devices on an the 88 when going to a different carb. On my 80 Dodge I took out a garbage can of wires and computer and installed a 4 wire module, distibutor and different carb. Thanks Gordie Re: Carb Swap [Re: 82shortbox] #873250 03/05/08 04:20 PM Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 7,768 Central Texas BigJim Web Wheeler The nutter MUST be done or the engine will run retarded at all times and might overheat because of the timing.. Nothing else NEEDS to be done. Those two mods leave all the rest of the wires and hoses under the hood inert... One might just as well throw them away.
