i took my stock efi block and converted to carb. i havent cranked it yet, hoping to do so this week or next week, adding some finishing touches, but i picked up a blaster 2 coil, wires and a 6A box from someone locally... and i went with the Summit Street and Strip Ready to Run dizzy. it was 220 shipped, looks like a nice unit, well have to find out.
Here is a photo of a friends extremly budget build. The engine cost nothing (it was the CFI engine from my 85 Coupe) the rest is Ebay stuff including the EFI dist. I think it looks out of place but I have to hand it to him on the amount of cash he has laid out on this ride. From the Summit cam to 91 4cyl coupe he has less than 2500 dollars tied up in this ride. He has cut every corner he could and while it won't be a powerhouse I have to admire his frugal build.
