Hi own a Cheyenne 1991 Mexico version which is similar to the chevy truck 1986. It has a 350 5.7 engine with a Rochester Quadrajet carburator.
Since the carburator is giving some problems, Can i replace the Quadrajet carburator by a TBI from a 350 engine 1992?
I appreciate your advises

Does your truck have a mechanical fuel pump on the block or an electric pump in the fuel tank?

If it were me, I would find a replacement carburetor, TBI has a lot more extra essential components than a carb system
