the same guys that sell LS harnesses will also sell a TBI harness that is pared down to 4 wires. although you can find the how-to on doing it yourself online. buying one will still cost less than the intake/carb/distributor you need to convert it to carb,

Simplicity is a blessing. I've seen my last Check Engine light. Carbs run no matter what.




i think you might be a little over dramatic here, your current truck has been broken more times and inert for longer than anything with EFI/OBD I have owned in the last 25 years (which has been zero times, by the way, 3 CPI trucks, 1 SFI truck, 2 TBI trucks, and a daily LQ4 with 180k).
