I have a 89 Camaro RS with an aftermarket 350, but im pretty sure the intake is original. What i have looks like its a carb, but when i look into it a bit, there are wires and whatnot all over the top. Is this an early version of a throttle body or what? If i knew how to post pics i would, but i dont know how so im hopeing a description is enough. I know its not TPI, thats kinda obvious. If it is indeed a carb of some sort, could i put a 4 barrel carb on it?

 

It may may be a TBI from the little info given.

 

thats what i was thinking,,, how do you add a pic? ill take one and post it.

 

its probably a quadrajet. those things look like a mess, but they are jsut carbs.

 

gotcha. Yea it looks like a 2 barrel carb in a way with wires and some plastic thing up top.

 

If as you say the engine was swapped out for a 350 and the car was a LO3 TBI 305. The easiest way would be to use the 305 intake, TBI and all the ECM & wring. One way to tell if its a Carb is all the sensors are not connected and nothing runs off the ECM. Or do some research so you know the DIFFERENCE between a Carb & TBI intake system.[sm=closed.gif]

 

if it has two bullet shaped things above the wholes, then it is TBI.

 

well i have no idea, black, thats why i was asking, like i said, it looks like a CARB, but it has the wires and whatnot on it. I could check to see if those wires are connected to anything yea, i never thought of that. And ill check for those bullet shaped objects you were talkin about. Thanks.

 

Thats TBI



Thats a quadrajet

 

na, its none of them,,, btw, how did u get that pic up on there? If i knew how id put it up. Im by NO MEANS a mechanic, i know enough to get by and keep my things running, thats about it. But i love to talk about cars and learn about them soo hopefully one day ill be as smart about cars as others on here. But I really want to get some awesome power out of this thing. Ive got a new chip commin, headers and exhaust are being ordered next week probably, thinkin about a cam, and a new rear end cause i think this one is shot. ANYWAY,,, ive got a picture of the carb/tbi/Unidentified Intake Object. But ive seen it on other camaros of the generation so i know its not an aftermarket intake.
