...up? well my car is a 89 but my motor is a 90 and i was just wondering if i could switch the carburetor to a EFI because im having alot of trouble with the carburetor please can someone help me out with a link or something
 
yea you can change it,but it will cost you more then buying a new rebuilt carb.theres a lot of stuff you will need to buy and change.
 
You will be better off having the carb rebuilt. What you are asking for will cost at the least 1500. But most likely it would be a lot more. You’re talking replacement computer. the whole EFI set up which involves different intake manifold, air cleaner box, the fuel rail, the injectors, the wire harness, change in the fuel lines new or different fuel pump. Adding in relays, a change in the exhaust manifold. A rebuild on the carb would only be around 200. A new carb would be around the same price. But if your heart is set on EFI I would find a totaled sunbird (find one that’s been hit in the rear) and pull everything you need from that. It’s more then the car is worth. not to mention your car will be out of service for at least 2 weeks to make the changes. I have done a few Carb to Injection converstions and it's just not worth it. It's cheaper to stick with what you have.
 
your 1989 should have a 2.0L or 3.1 litre both were fuel injected
the 2.0L came with throttle body or multi point injection.
which engine do you have and what did you replace it with,if you went newer you will need all the wiring as well as the newer computer to get it to run right
