Have an odd carb swap question
#2
The pressure regulator can get expensive. I swapped a carbed 351W into a 90 Mustang and left the fuel pump in the tank. The regulator I bought was $100 or so from Summit. Then I found out I needed special fittings for it (I forget what they are called but they come in red and blue colors and are some hi tech aluminum). To use the fittings I had to run braided fuel line ($6/ft). Once it was all in and done I like it. I had to add an electronic ignition since the computer was completely taken out of the loop (no injectors to cycle, etc). The best and cheapest way to do the ignition is a four pin ......ummmmm......errrrrrrrrrr.........ahhhhhhhh GM HEI igntion module (about $15 anywhere as opposed to buying something like an MSD ignition and one is about as good as the other). You should be able to use the same distributor but I would buy a hotter coil cause these GM HEI ignitions are pretty hot.

That's all that comes to mind right now since your truck is a 5 speed.
