Step #1: Find a suitable intake manifold. In all seriousness, that is the *ONLY* stumbling block for a small group of owners looking to experiment with alternative fuel metering. I was going to try modifying a B280/Chrysler 3.0 manifold for Dani, but he now has his K Jetronic up & running so the point may be moot (until the first time he tries to change plug wires, heater core hoses, clutch slave cylinder, etc...). There's a pic of my own conversion in #5939's photo album, taken in the middle of the night Wednesday (right before the 6/10 message you read). Notice the lack of louvers and engine cover. Maiden voyage through the sleeping streets of Laurinburg failed due to a clogged coolant system. Cosmoline was flushed out the next day, and I left on a 2,000 mile shakedown cruise that Friday. That's how much faith I have in carburetion (have been motoring no sweat ever since). If you do decide to experiment with carburetion, and if you manage to find a suitable intake manifold, there really aren't many other mod's necessary (all reversible of course): - Substitute a low PSI fuel pump in the tank - (I'd recommend running a new fuel to the back of the car, with an easily accessed cartridge fuel filter) - Run a ported 3/16" vacuum line to the distributor - Run a full 3/8" vacuum line, with check valve, to the HVAC/brake booster Tee - Run PCV through a valve into the carb - Either cut the factory throttle cable to fit your carb or run a new one That's all it takes for trouble free thereafter fuel delivery (IMHO).
