307 TO OLDS 350 COMPUTER HELP!!

[joe_padavano]

does this mean i could just use the 307 ccc carb and dist and i will run.i really need this to get me back and fourth from school and work daily 5miles away dont care bout performance just need my car back on the road thanks

Yes. If all you are looking for is getting the 350 running acceptably as cheaply as possible, you can simply bolt the carb, distributor, and all sensors to the 350 and it will run. It won't be optimized, but it will provide transportation.

ok thats good news.So are the sensors going to be able be put on the engine since it is so old.can i still run the ccc carb and dist with out all the emissions junk.

OK which "emmissions junk" are you referring to? If you are simply trying to put an Olds 350 in and getting it running as simple as possible .... just hook up ALL the original 307 components. Use the stock manifolds (look your O2 provision infact don't even unscrew the O2 sensor from the manifold). Hook the 350 up just like the 307 and away you go.

* wait I overlooked your heads lacking both A.I.R. and E.G.R. provisions .... now I got to think about this. The CCC adjusts primarly fuel richness and distributor advance .... does the ECM even read signals from the EGR?

 

[Carcray6262]

i have now clue? lol....im beginning to think buy a non-ccc carb distributor would be easier just because i can loose all the hoses and junk i guess.is there something i need for my transmission i take this route?

The A.I.R. system is not controlled by the ECM. You can leave it off and nothing will be affected. The EGR is controlled by the ECM, but leaving it off will not affect the operation of the system very much. It is only used at part throttle cruise. You may get pinging under these conditions without it.

Bolt on the carb, distributor, MAP sensor, and coolant temp sensor and you're good to go. The lockup torque converter will even still work.

that Joe's pretty smart .... thanks, I was thinking I might have outspoke.

alright if i were to go the non ccc way can the distributor and carb come out of a pre 1980 chevy or does it have to be olds

has to be Olds .... Chebbie distributors went through the intake ..... Chebbie fuel inlets went to the side and the throttle tends to hit the EGR mount and binds.

alright thanks for all the info i got one more question....as mentioned before am i going to be able to do the non ccc dist and carb....does it matter weather i have a lockup or a torque converter....

The computer controls the lockup converter based on TPS, RPM, and road speed. Without the ECM, you need a different method for locking the converter if you want to use it.
