Not required I have a Vic E intake with 4bbl Accufab TB that I can swap a carb on to for testing purposes When running the carb , the still connected ECM ('165 ECM ) primes the pump as stock then does nothing .Injectors are not going to pulse because the ECM is not seeing any ref pulses . Dash fully functions except as noted above Quote:
Pete K will confirm but IIRC lockup is required on the early T700's because they only had full fluid flow to the trans cooler when in lockup mode. This was changed to give full flow at all times with the revisions done in '89?

Diacom is a oldie but goodie DOS program.
Was a $500 program in the early '90's but uses a unique Diacom only cable that needs the now obsolete serial port connection ( as the included laptop has) Diacom user interface is not so user friendly as more modern Windows based programs but you can playback saved Diacom datalogs in Datamaster to view with real time graphing of 4 selected parameters See http://powertuneplus.com/syclone/tunersguide_dm.shtm Datamaster program is free to download.(select file for your engine ) http://www.ttspowersystems.com/DataMaster_downloads2.html Gives unlimited playback of Diacom logs and also does data-logging in it's own right ; 20 times for free before you have to buy it using correct USB cable. http://www.aldlcable.com NB: this USB/ALDL cable works with any modern data / tuning software ( except Diacom )

Same rules apply If you are going to pull big numbers then a upgraded balancer would be a worthwhile investment on any engine Quote:
Problem is many of the cheaper stroker kits use a 400 casting ( w/350 mains ) so you have to run the 400 style balancer and flexplate Quote:
8" 400 ci or Vortec balancer can be made to fit by some hammering of the X member as required for clearance

Exactly as I said above BUT only is functional on CSI equipped cars because as your pic # 13 shows , the passage is blocked by the plate on the runner flange where the CSI would be on a early car It is obvious GM only made/machined one Vette TPI base ,85 - 91 and when the CSI was deleted they did not bother to make changes to that system in the base ; instead just blanked the supply port off

If the IAC air goes thru the plenum and out those small runner holes, how does it get into/thru the TB on 89-91 plenums There are openings either side of the bores on the back of the TB that put the IAC air into the plenum Quote:
As I have argued for many years; on the early setups IAC air is directed to the CSI then to the holes in base to distribute CSI fuel. IIRC the later bases are identical still have the holes drilled and passage but the supply is blocked by the plate on the drv side runner that replaces the CSI

If that was the case why do early model TPI's have the IAC passage from TB directly to a passage under plenum that takes IAC air down the tube on drv side runner to the CSI location. Little opportunity for idle air to follow path you suggest [IMG]http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u309/vetteoz/Engine/85-88plenum.jpg[/IMG] Quote:
Only have to look at intake to see the obvious. Holes in floor behind the TB connect to a passage cast on pass side under plenum , connects to the tube down pass side / connects to EGR valve fed from EGR connection at rear from riser on exh manifold All TPI have this EGR setup.( F-Bodies source EGR gas from crossover in head ) By your analysis where do the EGR gases enter the intake? [IMG]http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u309/vetteoz/Engine/Plenumunder.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u309/vetteoz/Engine/intakeon3.jpg[/IMG] The late model intakes without CSI don't have the 2nd pathway from the TB to drv side .Compare the TB mounting face of the plenums, early vs late ; you will see there is no hole in plenum behind TB on late style [IMG]http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u309/vetteoz/Engine/plenum.jpg[/IMG]

If that wire is connected to the block , then that would be the "ground" we are talking about. Instead of the relay control wire going to ground through the switch as intended it would go through that connection to block meaning fan would run as soon as key turned on

The famous "010" block was used for 2 and 4 bolt engines in everything from 185Hp trucks to 370Hp LT1 Vette Everyone who has a 010 block says it came from a LT1 so there are now 10 times the number of LT1 blocks out than were ever fitted to Vettes

Wiring the solenoid to ground through the 4th gear switch ( bypassing temp switch ) is a popular way for retrofits. Gives lockup any time trans is in 4th and release from brake switch without needing control from a manual switch or vac switch as commonly used in some kits Not relevant to your circumstances but I have also seen other homemade setups where they also wired in the dash switch giving the option of manual lockup in the gears and auto lockup in 4th

Was just looking in the FSM at the YDM model trans used in '90 Vettes Shows TCC power path; brake switch - solenoid - to ground at ECM. But something I had not noticed or seen mentioned before is it has a side path to ground through the temp switch and 4th gear switch giving lockup in 4th gear without ECM control ( once temp switch closes )
