    Switching from Volvo TBI to Carb on a 1996 5.7 GI

    Perfect You just saved me $400 Do I need to change anything on it for the carb conversion? I will put a new coil on. The old one looks tired. Thanks

    Switching from Volvo TBI to Carb on a 1996 5.7 GI

    Will I started removing the old wiring harness, TBI, and fuel lines. I have confirmed that the Edelbrock 1409 will bolt directly to my manifold. I will cap off the overflow port. It is used with a mechanical fuel pump. I will add a Holley pressure regulator after the stock Volvo low pressure...

    Would this work for the overfull port on the 1409 carb?

    Switching from Volvo TBI to Carb on a 1996 5.7 GI

    Since I am going to use the Volvo low pressure fuel pump and Holley fuel regulator, where do I run the fuel over flow line since I will be removing the VST? Does the fuel regulator set to 5 psi eliminate the fuel overflow port? Thanks

    Just a few more questions. Here is a pressure regulator with attached gauge to get the fuel pressure dialed in. Speedway Fuel Pressure Regulator 5-12 psi & Gauge 0-15 psi I can attach it directly to the Volvo low pressure pump and filter housing to make a clean installation. Should I use a hard...

    Switching from Volvo TBI to Carb on a 1996 5.7 GI

    That would be great! Should I put a regulator on it or use it as is? That will help keep everything looking stock using the low pressure pump and filter setup. Thanks for the info

    Switching from Volvo TBI to Carb on a 1996 5.7 GI

    I have been doing a lot of research on this project. I ordered a good used 5.7 GL wiring harness. It has the relay for the single fuel pump. Can I use the stock intake Chevy manifold (PN 14096242)? I have read that there is a plate adapter for the TBI and a Edelbrock 1409 will be a direct fit...

    Switching from Volvo TBI to Carb on a 1996 5.7 GI

    Here are a couple of pictures of the STBD side ecm plug. I ended up putting heat shrink on all the bare wires. The wires seem brittle. I don’t trust it to be reliable. If I could find a used replacement plug I could splice it in. I can find a 5.7 GL wiring harness. Would that work if I...

    Switching from Volvo TBI to Carb on a 1996 5.7 GI

    The TBI was just rebuilt. Both pumps are working. I have a strong feeling the VST has problems. So everything is new except the VST. Not sure if I can work on it. Thanks

    30 psi. I’m only getting 6-8 on the high side With the bad wiring harness it’s going to be hard to troubleshoot.

    Switching from Volvo TBI to Carb on a 1996 5.7 GI

    I have recently bought a 1996 2460 pursuit with a Volvo penta 5.7 GI with TBI. The engine only has 80 hours on a rebuild. The problem that I am having is low fuel pressure and the wiring harness is bad. I have replaced the tank fuel tube, check valve, fuel line, both fuel filters, both fuel...
