The carb swap is now kinda expensive unless you have all the required parts already. I've done them a few times, back in the day, before aftermarket efi stuff was affordable. I went the MSPNP2 route and it's actually cheaper or near even with a correct carb swap. You need to drop the tank and delete the fuel pump, buy the correct carburetor,, add a carb pump, buy a regulator, fuel adapters for carb, the carb intake, vacuum advance distributor, various gaskets, throttle linkage adaptation, and various hoses / lines to make it all work.

If all the EFI stuff is there, why not give it a go? It’s reliable if it’s how it should be.

If you insist on converting to carb, don’t hack up or throw out anything you take off the car. That stuff is worth good money.

I like carbs. I’m not sure I’ll ever upgrade one of my 60’s cars to EFI.
but in a car that already has EFI, after warning you that John is right, and telling you that reading Jrichker’s threads on how the factory EFI works is absolutely worth the learning curve, I’ll still try to help.
