Carb Convertion Help

Well, if you went to a carb and DS2 distributor, you could take out everything EFI intact.
That way a sale would be much more likely since the wires won't be cobbled up and you won't need the ECM.


(DS2= Ford electronic ignition used roughly 1974 to 1980, DuraSpark 2)

Do a search here. Its been done bezillions of times. Ignition goes to Duraspark. Hardest part seems getting a lower pressure fuel pump for the carb, throttle linkage, etc.

It would seem to me that you might be able to get an inline adjustable regulator, with return line capability, and use the stock lines and pump. You would have to be able to get down to around 7psi max. That would have most of your fuel going back through the return line when running.

I did it on my 86. I took out the factory fuel lines and ran new 3/8 aluminum tubing. I removed the in tank fuel pump and installed a pick-up. I mounted an electric fuel pump at the rear of my car. ( these pumps seem to like to push rather then pull fuel. Mounted a regulator up at front of engine and plumped it all in. Wasn't that hard. Took the harness apart. removed computer and associated harness. I installed an entire MSD ignition system. It just takes time.

I converted to carb and left the stock fuel pump, just installed an inline regulator to keep the psi lowered for the carb
