Converting EFI to Carb

gofastlx · 02-14-2001, 08:38 AM

I'm doing the swap right now, and it can be involved.

Fuel Syst: You can run your stock pump or larger, but you'll need to regulate the pressure down, you cna get away with it using a Race reg from Mallory it is a 4 port, and has a return. It is a tough unit, and will handle up to 50 psi. Route it in, and reroute it to the return. I've used it b4 in another swap it will work fine on a mild motor.

I would recommend swapping to an external carb pump, and a sump, or fuel cell. The stock fuel lines should be able to support a mild motor, but anything over 350hp I'd upgrade your lines to at least 3/8.

Trans: If you have an AOD you can get a new cable, and adapter from Lokar(www.lokar.com) they sell the shorter cable, and extension you'll need.

Throttle: I think the stock cable will work fine, but it'll be a bit long.

If you have a T5...obvious!

Heads" Your E-bok's will be fine

Dizzy: you'll need a regular dist, as the EFI one has no advance capabilities. I'm using a MAllory Unilite w/mechanical advance. I believe you can use an older Duraspark.

Email me if you have anymore Q's
