Don't forget the fuel pump and distributor as well. Why do you want to switch to carb? Bad way to go, in most cases. Unless you want to spend the absolute minimum amount of money possible. In that case, you're probably in the wrong business [8D]

carb can be just as good as fuel injection if it is tuned right, most people just dont know how to tune a carb right so then they complain about it.
