    305/350 questions

     



    This is what I have and what I am trying to do. I have a 305 motor that is carburated. I am getting a 1989 5.7ltr TPI motor. I dont have the $ to do the conversion wireing and the fuel pump I will need so, I am putting a carb on it. I have the intake and carb, the distributer and the fuel pump for it. My question is will I need to change the fluid dampner (harmonic balancer)? If I do need to change the dampner (harmonic balancer), can I just swap the one off the 305 and use it? Thanks a ton for any info. Bill

    I can't see any reason to change the harmonic dampener.
    .
    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

    I was told the TPI motor will not have timing marks on the dampner. Is that incorrect? I have only worked on carberated motors so I have limited knowledge

    Use a degree tape to degree the damper. Follow these instructions I wrote...

    You may have to use a electric fuel pump . The 350 TPI might not be machined for a
    mechanical fuel pump
