[&:] heheh'... little late...
Takes all of three things needed wired up for a carbed car. Ignition/distributor, Starter, & Fuel pump if electric. As for gauges,... Stock tach wont work more than likely. [sm=icon_rtfm.gif] for your gauge info...

umm you need ignition for your coil so really only one power wire. And dont forget to get a fuel pressure regulator if your keeping the electric fuel pump in or youll blow the seals out of the carb!!

yup. one hot wire for ignition, one for elec carb choke (if your gonna have one). and then your basic oil pressure / temp sensors. you should be able to retain those from your V6, and keep em in the stock gauges.
just pay attention to what you actually DO need, and then cut off everything you dont.
