So pretty much what I want to know is what exactly am I going to need to convert to a carb setup? and what can I take out of my car now that I won't need.

I don't know if i can take out the computer, wiring harness, etc.

thanks guys

You'll need a fuel tank from a carbed mustang, a carb intake, a carb, a carb fuel pump and lines, carb regulator, carb throttle cable. Computer and EFI related wiring can be deleted

This is a good reference page.

you dont need a tank froma carbed stang persay, you can have a sump welded into the bottom of your stock tank or just put in a fuel cell thats another route. i went with the sump in the stock tank. youll need some sort of ignition box like msd or a cheaper route would be a duraspark box from a older carbed stang, but there getting up there in a ge i woudl just pick up a msd 6al at teh very least and get a new coidl while your at it if ya want. good luck with the swap.
