Ok, car's in the sig is the one im asking about. I really dont trust EFI motors, i want to know what's required to convert it to a Carb motor other than the manifold, linkages and Carb. is that all i need?

fuel supply is a problem. you have 40psi now, but a carb will want much less... 6-7psi I think.
I really don't see it as worth the effort. Your EFI will get better milage, more torque, and more drivablity

Get out of the 70's man...learn to deal with them.

Rather than coverting to something you "trust", keep what you have and "learn" something.
