Unless you're opening a soft drink plant I wouldn't switch to "carbonated"...but if you want to switch to carburated then yes, the chevy 2.8 parts are interchangeable with the pontiac. Just remember that your computer controls things like spark, fuel, and adjusts based on sensor feedback. You'll need to eliminate the computer you currently operate

shouldn't your g/p have a 3.8 buick

l wish it was a 3.8. l cant find an hei distributor with vacuum advanced. the stock camshaft will have the gear to run distributor?

Check the scrap yard for a early to mid 80's 2.8 for intake, dist, harness, computer.(carb is feedback style, dist advance is run by computer)

Watch for S(2WD) or T(4wd)Blazers or Jimmys, carbed 2.8 was common in these.

Why are you scrapping the EFI, its the only thing that makes these motors drivable.

[fordss]

the efi give me fits.. mileage is that what u mean ?

[snakebit68]

I kinda agree with Fmrstrtrcr on the EFI. If you think the EFI is giving you fits just wait til you get a carb on there. Your choice of course but you may regret it.

Not just mpg, but drivability, off idle power, cold start ability.

You dont need to be a computer expert to fix an efi car, just some patience. Factory Chassis service manual is good place to start(Helms manual, not Chiltons or Haynes). Dont go swapping components until you know for sure that its bad. Just because the computer flashes a component code, doesnt mean the component is bad, usually its a loose or broken wire/connection.

Start with a good diagnosis of the condition of the motor, ie, compression test, spark plug condition, cap&rotor, clean fuel filter, no broken vacuum hoses or gasket leaks.
