84 TA, 305 carb GM CHIP
For anybody out there that has a 305 with the computer controlled quadrajet carb and slight mods - GM has a chip for you! My TA has the original 305 which I rebuilt...the heads were ported and polished, I used a summit cam ( pn sum-1102, .42I, .442E), edlebrock TES headers, high flow converter, factory muffler). The problem I had was that the car idled poorly below1000 rpm, and it ran like it was starving. I called around and nobody could offer me a chip for it.......hypertech said their chip was for a stock 305 only........they siad it would make the car run worse. SO I looked in a GM performance catalog and they had a page on how to put a ZZ3 350 in a third gen camaro.........so just for kicks ( and a litte desperation) I odered the ECM and chip that went with that swap.........I figured if it could feed a hungry 350 it would certainly feed my 305..........and it did!! the car now idles quite nicely at 650rpm and the top end is better too.The ECM part number is1228079, the chip is 24502456. I also ordered the smaller metering rods for the secondaries ( pn 7033812) The only problem i have seen so far is that it sets a code "24" which has to do with a vehicle speed sensor, which my car doesn't have.........if anybody has any ideas for solving that ( short of removing the bulb, which I am considering) I'd appreciate them
