Re: [AMC-list] AMC-List--BBD Carburetors and HEI

[Matt Shumaker <mshumaker@xxxxx>]

I would jump on this offer.  I ran a BBD with a swapped-in GM HEI on a 
1983 Concord with 258 for a few years.  It was my daughter's first car.  
The HEI came from a 1979 (I think) Chevy 250 I-6.  I had to replace the 
driven gear at the tip of the HEI distributor with the gear that came 
off if the Concord's distributor.  The electrical connections were 
simple, and they bypassed the computer.  The installation put the BBD 
into a kind of an average, all-around driving setting and the stepper 
motors were never again operative.  The Concord ran much more reliably 
afterward, eliminating the hesitation (and sometimes killing the engine) 
on starting from a traffic light.  It passed emissions better with the 
HEI and bypassed computer than it had with the original setup.
