im am purchaing a 91 camaro rs with the 305 tbi...automatic trans....i want to convert it to a carb, but have no idea how if anone has some info please let me know, i also want to convert it to a 5 speed eventually.

 

me and u have the same exact camaro. I also want to do what ur going to do with the 5 speed thing but later on i might convert to a 350

 

the easiest is to use the low pressure pump that is already in your tank.

 

youll need a new non computer controlled distributor, manifold, and obviously the carb. a new link from the throttle cable to the carb also i think, but i wouldnt swear to it.

the fuel pump in your tank flows too high pressure for a carb. Youll need to either get a regulator with a return line ( just because its easier on the pump) OR, take it out all together and put a mechanical pump on the block.

as far as the tranny. find a doner car with the 5-speed already ( try and find one with a V8 already for the correct bell housing). that way you have all the parts. But buy a NEW CLUTCH. they arent that much money and you might as well replace it while its out of the car anyway. Just beware that the 5 speed isnt that strong of a tranny, as long as you arent putting to much power to it youll be ok

 

I have a 91 RS too, but I'm leaving mine alone. You'll have to keep the electric fuel pump because the engine block doesn't have provisions to drive a mechanical pump. You will need to install a fuel pressure regulator with a return as suggested, not for the electric pumps' sake though, but to lower the fuel pressure tothe carb to prevent blow-by at the needle and seat.
