efi to carb
carbs work best on 4-8psi depending on the carb of course. Edelbrock's like 6psi, not sure what holley's prefer.
I doubt that you can use a regulator to choke your stock fuel pump, seems to me that would be asking for a quick pump burnout.
Pushing 37psi through a carb shouldn't destroy it, but you'll end up flooding the holy hell out of it.

To swap over to a carb and its a great idea to you need the intake,carb,and distributor.You can either go with a points setup that i dont recommend or you can use the DURASPARK 2 setup which consists of 4 wires and a small little brain box and youre on your way.</p>
Carbs do offer more tuning capabilities and their cheap to fix,tune,and maintain.Not too mention if tuned right and by right i mean specigically for either performance or economy a carb is comparable to efi.</p>
Go for it a carbed setup rocks!I love carbs and wouldnt have it any other way.</p>
Does it really matter if I've got a stang or not man? I know what I'm talking about and fuel enrichment is fuel enrichment by either EFI or carb, no matter what the motor.
EFI's limitless tuneability,smooth power delivery, and more power/torque makes it a winner in my book. With plug/play technology coming out, and the fact that you can build and tune a standalone for any motor pretty much for under $300 (MegaSquirt).....I really don't see how you can shun EFI over carb.

I think most carbs are happiest between 4 and 6. For whatever reason the guy who built my friend's 318 put an 8psi pump on it and we were having a hard time tuning the carb (edl 600). He told us that all chrysler pumps were high pressure like than and that we'd need a regulator. Sounded fishy to me, especially since I don't have or need a pressure regulator on my 360.

good decision on the carb<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">i love carbs. and he already chose to convert it and he is confident with it so dont give him sh*t. and we have been through this about 10000000000000 times in the past month, so dont even try. do you want to keep egr or not?? holley sells a great street legal carb (the street avenger) and put an edelbrock performer intake on it. if you dont want it go with a demon carb and an edelbrock air gap manifold <IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">. get some heads on it and you will be putting down some f*ckin power. im looking into doing the same thing so thanks for posting this <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">. i need toknow the finicky sh*t too. </P>
