A proper chip would fix that, and be cheaper than this...

Mechanical fuel pump (and drop the tank to remove the stocker)

Diferent fuel lines (maybe just some bending, not sure)

A carb, intake, and gasket's

Possibly a distributor, not sure on that one.

Then you would have alot of ugly wires to hide away, or leave I guess. But I honestly don't know why you would voluntarily step back into the stone-age. Especially when your combo isn't all that radical. But whatever float's your boat, goodluck.

I suppose you would get rid of all the electronics which make this car so difficult to tune. I did'nt say impossible, just more difficult.

I wish in a way i had a standard carb, and dizzy etc, means i could throw in a lumpy cam, do what i liked and then be able to run it without it stalling or all the other pitfalls that await you.

Carb, intake, gaskets, fuel system (electric pump, lines, FPR), ignition system (MSD box/coil and distributor), accelerator and/or TV cable bracketry, and an entirely non-electronic transmission.

It's not that hard.. and yes, getting the gauges to work is a piece of cake if you are pointed in the right direction. If you wind up doing this project, get in touch with me and i'll help you out.

There is absolutely no reason to do this; it will ruin the value of the car, reduce driveability, reduce gas mileage, and be ugly.

Get a proper tune.

Msd makes a nice setup (dist., ignition box) for that, just need to get the fuel pressure down with a regulator, and of course your carb and intake. Actually you will have less wires with a setup like that than a fuel-injected setup. I had both, both have their advantages and disadvantages, just what you are looking for.

Probably need one of those taller hoods too, i cant see a the likes of a Holley, manifold, and an air filter, or would it?
Even the efi does'nt clear it by a lot, with a 1" phenolic spacer on its almost touching, trust me.

see i wanna carb it cuz i got all the stuff like the intake and and carb a holly 650 i just need the dizzy and regulator and i put a c4 in my car a week after i had the car andand put a 5 speed ecu in it the c4 has no electronic on it so i just have all the auto wires ziptired to the cross member the only thing it has is the speedo wiring hooked up i have no neutral safety swith or revese lights so i just wanna put the carb and intake on cuz i dont have the money 4 a tune and there no performance shops around me to tune it the only one i know of is 2 hours away and 3 speed on the high way with a 373 gear anit to pretty

I have to laugh at comments like "stone age" when referring to carbs. It seems the entire muscelcar craze of the 1960's was built on carbed engines. Also many of the top N/A drag racing divisions use carbed engines. NASCAR still uses carbs, even had to put restrictor plates under them because the dinosaurs were going TOO FAST! World records were set with them. And after all the time that EFI has been around there is a bigger carburetor industry than ever. Go figure. ^-^

EFI is nice and you can't beat it for emissions and fuel mileage. Personally I don't like he "trick" intake manifold designs. Some physics are being violated while their function is explained and I don't like that. Also, I never lost a fuse or sensor that caused my carb to fail. :hammer:

Yeah, us old farts love our carbs.

Although I don't want to get into a Carb vs EFI debate...

Much of the reason certain classes and sanctioning bodies (e.g. NASCAR) use carburetors is because the rules require them to. Do you really think all of NASCAR wouldn't switch to EFI in a heartbeat if they were allowed to? Using their megabuck budgets and huge R&D operations, they could make huge strides with EFI.

There are plenty of VERY fast racecars that have moved to EFI because of the almost limitless capabilities for for fine tuning their air-fuel mixture in each cylinder, plus added benefits like traction control, boost control, etc. etc.

I agree with a lot of what you said, and yes, we could go into a debate, but there wouldn't be much to debate about really. What you said about fuel control is 100% on the money. You can't beat it. That's why Top Fuel runs it, at those power levels it is too critical. My only point is that a carb is not "just a step" above a bucket with a hole in the bottom for the gas to enter the engine from. It's not so "stone age". It does it's job quite well and to me the best argument for going with EFI is when dealing with maximum HP situations such as Top Fuel, Sportman class, etc. I would not want a carb on one of those engines.

And for a few of the younger folk, my wife has actually passed an EFI Mustang in her carbed Mustang. :noes: :thumb:

Carburetor technology these days is pretty sophisticated. Top teams now have float level sensors and all kinds of crazy stuff to get the most out of their carbs.

Too true. :thumb:

Maybe I shouldn't have made such a broad statement regarding carb's. i am well aware of their benefit's and familiar with the level of sophistication in them nowaday's. The carb on my truck has the ability to idle down to 400 rpm and climb steeper than I really want to.

However, in this case, a stock fuel injected engine, with mild mods, as a regular driver I feel he is better off with a chip and his fuel injection than a carb. The added effort and expense is not out weighed by the benefit's that he will gain.

And for the price of the carb and intake you have now, you could easily have the car chipped, even if you need to go 200 miles to do it. Again though, why would you swap in a C4? are you intending to use the car for drag racing, Saturday night cruising only? You are really throwing away every benefit of owning a car this new.

Carb. FTW.

95stang5.o · Oct 26, 2007

i only put a a c4 in it cuz i dint have the money to get the aode rebuilt the way i wanted to when i bought a pa c4 with evey i need to put it in 4 600 bucks its pa c4 with the trans break i was on a buget then and still am so im just trying to spend less money then what i need 2 cuz all my buddy have the foxbodys so i get their old parts that r still godd 4 cheap like i got the intake and card 4 free and a f cam and gt 40 p heads all 4 free so im not gonna complain my buddy car went 12 99 on mote with all the stuff he just gave me 4 free and he had a c4 with 2400 stall and a 3 73 gear so it i can get that ill be happy

One thing I do like about my fuel injected truck is not having to wait for it to warm up before going anywhere. I have got spoiled on that convenience. But prior to EFI waiting for the engine to warm up was the norm. It was expected.

My wife and I each have a toy car. Her's is a '66 Mustang with a 331 stroker and mine is a 1973 Australian car with a 351 Cleveland. With all the technology that is available now we still prefer our old carbed, simple cars. Another thing I like about a carb is that it "looks" mechanical, like a machine, and that is appealing to me.

95stang5.0, when you get that stuff cheap, or better yet for free, it's hard to pass on. I'd take it too.
