Default carburated 5.0

What all do I need to turn my 89 5.0 into a carburated 5.0?

Why would you want to go carburated?

A napa remaned 85 mustang 5 speed distributer. Cost about $110 before you return a core. I used a msd 6al for a iginition box. Don't use stock fuel pump, it puts out way to much pressure a carb regulator won't be able to keep the pressure down. Granetelli, Paxton, and one other company can't remember who all have pickups for external pumps for efi tanks. I used granetelli and it worked fine. I ran a holley blue pump.

$177.00 for a mallory dizzy, coil, ignition module. two wires to hook up the whole deal. one 12v + and one tach wire. super simple gm style but for fords.

proform makes one too for 188.00 that says it has a gear for a roller cam, the mallory didnt say so you'd have to ask - i'd take the mallory over a proform (proform is kinda generic)

The Proform probably will work fine, but a Mallory is deffinately a step up.

I have a question about that HEI, with that tach, will it work with "ANY" tach? I bought a diff brand hei, then found out that it will only work with 1974+ tachs and my stang is a 71... errrr -Jon
