I switched to carbed and couldnt be happier. I am running A Eddy RMP Air Gap, a 85 Mustang Dizzy and Duraspark 2 iginition and a 670 Holley Street Avenger Carb.

I live in Canada where the winters are bruttle and I have no cold starting issues at all.

get yourself one of those dual plane air gap intakes and I run a Holley 750cfm carburetor, vacuum secondaries. I built a street car, doesn't get much driving time. I myself run a Vic Jr., I'm running the Comp Cams XFI236HR camshaft. I have 10.0:1 compression. You do what you want and I say again, the camshaft you have will work fine under a carburetor.

I run a full MSD ignition also. You can go to the parts house and get a dizzy for a 1985 5 speed car. They are around $100-$130 bucks I think. It will plug into a MSD 6AL box with the adapter. You could also get one of those 1 wire HEI dizzy's off of Ebay and use it too.
