stay fuel injection in the long run its better, im going back right now with the turbo build.find someone good with fuel injection to help you out. my mistake was i didnt listen to the right people at the time. and my issue was so dum mass air was bad, so a $300 part cost me 1500 to convert to carb.and if you convert do it right the first time good luck if you were closer i would try and get some people to help you out. oh yea dont listen to Chillzzz he has no clue what he's talking about 
Oh I just figured out your problem.. I just realized your problem. I just noticed that u have a speed density car. Instead of throwin your money away at tryin 2 figure out what was wrong u should have spent that money on a mass air conversion. Problem solved.. C how easy that was?
Carb it! Screw the vacuum advance too, use the mechanical advance in the dizzy. MSD 8598 distributor (steel gear for Hyd. roller cam), MSD Digital 6 (Almost the same $ as a 6al but much better), MSD Blaster SS coil, Pro-Systems or Quick Fuel Carb (No BG unless you are racing it all the time), Performer RPM or Air gap intake if you have basically stock heads. If bigger heads go with the vic. Jr.
Trust me, you can't go wrong with that combo and you will never switch back to EFI again!!

ok first speed density is great untill u start modding the crap out of the car. mass air is more "tuner" friendly. convert to mass air and you will see a great diff in the car aswell as tuning capability. second, switching to carb is trading one set of problems for another. if you think you can just pop a carb on and go, not true. have you given thought that you will have to change the fuel set up, and trottle cable linkage, and most importantly DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TUNE A CARB? tuning a carb is not that bad but not that east either. which ever way you go good luck
in warm weather with a carb you have lil warm up time, in the winter you will be sitting a lil while. and your zex kit cant be used with a carb, also if you switch to mass air junk the 19 and go with the 24's being that your running a dry kit safer in the long run, and what size fuel pump do you have?also get a regulator if you dont have one. trust me stay fuel injected in the long run you will love.
I don't know what the problem is. [ame="http://newyorkmustangs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1940"]Almost ready to crash into a wall!! - New York Mustangs - Forums[/ame]
This is a link from trying to find my problem.
Cledus thinks it's my injectors. He could be right. I have 19lb design 3, 4 holes. I think it could also be wiring or computer related. The motor is stock and I wouldn't mind keeping it that way. If I can get it to run good and just use my nos i'll be happy with that. I know I have to change the fuel pump set up and all that. I can't tune a carb but my brother can so i'm good there. Nobody likes bary grants? All the old timers are telling me there the best. Road demon jr. 625 is the most recomended.

How is converting an EFI car to a Carb so expensive?
First off, all that ignition crap is unnecesary. Yes, I said that.
I guess I'll start off with the ignition crap...
You dont actually need an 'ignition box' I found that out after I bought my freakin $230 MSD crap box. If you can buy a distributor with an ignition module on it, than thats all you need. Heres a link to the style distributor I am using.

All that you need is that and a coil. Run the power on the distributor off the coil and wa la. All the MSD box will do is supposedly give you 'multiple sparks' under like 2,000 rpm's. Supposedly it gives you better gas mileage....whatever. And they have a 'rev limiter' that doesnt work half the time anyway. That last part I have seen on several other peoples cars. A 7,000 chip that comes on at 6,000 and a 6,000 chip that didnt work, causing a new hole in the oil pan.
For a carb, that all depends on what your doing. Choose what works best for you.
For an intake... an Edelbrock rpm airgap is hard to beat on anything but a 8,000rpm motor.
And you need a fuel pressure regulator. I dont know for sure, but I would imagine the stock pump can be used with a regulator in place. Jegs 4.5-9psi regulator is $27. Cant beat it.
I dont get whats so expensive. You could pick up a used intake for like $100. $75 for the distributor. $27 for a regulator.
And whatever carb you get will vastly change the price.
Doesnt sound to bad from where I'm standing.
