Converting from VaraJet E2SE to 2SE ???

[pgtr]

I have a very original '84 FBody with 2.8L V6 (200k mi) and E2SE carb w/ computer controlled ignition etc.

I'm tired of dealing with the aging and convoluted end-of-carb-era emissions controls and am contemplating switching it out. Engine runs fantastic except for intermittent carb issues that I'm tired of dealing with.

I would change out the E2SE for a 2SE (early 80s S10) carb eliminating the mixture control solenoid, TPS etc.

I would also change out the distributor for a conventional vac advance distributor from an early 80s S10.

A few questions:

Q: Would the gas mileage be similar or comparable to my '84's current mileage (25 hwy)?

Q: Does the earlier 2SE carb still use the EFE pre-heat grid in the carb base gasket?

Qoes the ECM become a boat anchor or do I need to it's (removed) sensors?

Q: I think the EGR valve is computer conrolled - how would I hook that up (or should it be bypassed)?

Q: Will tbe cruise control still work OK?

...any other comments, inputs or suggestions regarding this contemplated project?

thanks

not sure to a few of those answers, but should you need a wiring diagram, i've got them for you.

Q: Also can a Hi Perf HEI distributor for a modern 4.3L V6 work in my older 2.8L OK?

thanks
