Converting EFI to Carb

Yeah man...it's pretty easy. You'll need the aformentioned carb and intake obviously. You'll also need a low pressure fuel pump since the EFI pump will kill your carb in short order. I'd recommend an in tank pump from an SVO. They run right around 7psi which is just right. You'll also need a new distributor without a TFI module. It's not a terribly tricky swap but it would certainly be a good idea to get someone who's got some experience to help. If you don't already have a cam, this would be a good time to drop one in. Also, if you've got an automatic tranny be sure to get the right hook ups for the kickdown linkage. Otherwise you'll burn up your AOD. Plan on about a whole weekend and about 3 24 packs. I'd suggest getting the Edelbrock Performer (or Performer RPM) kit that has a carb, intake, and cam/lifters. That should match your heads really well.
