Thanks.. but which wiring to remove ?

Thanks. It wont be THAT radical, im just thinking through the swap from EFI to carb.

I also found alot of hits on this subject by using search.. i just had to refine my search criteria!

I do have another question about which wiring to remove while performing the EFI to CARB switch?

just run vacuum line from brake booster to intake port


find the right wires to make it run when you get it running remove the rest

it depends on what you are running for ignition and other stuff so
