Answer 1

it is not illegal to change it on a car older than 15 yrs old,,you can do whatever you wan to do with it,,it,s yours,,i own a repair shop,and ai presently doing a 91 Chevy suburban,,going back to the hei distributor,,all you have to do is make sure you disconnect all the computer junk from it,,and make sure you don't do away with the wires for the oil sending unit,,and the heat hand,,also take the check engine light out of it,if it was one of the ones that had the computer controlled carburetor,,you,ll need to find an older model that has a plane old carb on it,best to replace the intake and carb,,if you can find one,,other than that,,the rest is pretty easy,,you may have to do some adjusting on it,,like with the timing,,but it will run fine,,i do this for a living,and it will easier to work on once you have done this,,hope this helps..

Answer 2

I don't know why you would want to do that, but you can use the HEI with the ECM.
You should know, the computer is considered an emissions devise, and as such, if you remove it, in most states (and federally) that is illegal. When you go in for a SMOG check, your car will fail if those sorts of modifications have been made.

Answer 3

I wouldn't do that. The computer make your car run better, plus you do not have the ignition contact to wear out.
