Default Another Going carb ?'s

Ok after a long debate and what not iv decided to just go carb.
I know you have to cheange a few things such as

Intake
carb
dizzy
ingnition box
fuel pump
regulator


If i missed anything let me know please. Also i understand a 85 dizy and ingnition box will work, is this just off the mucstangs or can it be salvaged from a LTD or truck or something. ALso were would it be located.

IM thinking of going with a rpm airgap if i can find one reasonable, and the father-in-law as a holley 750 which im going to try and get it to work, why not its free uh!!!!lol

Can yall inform me on anything i left out or need to make sure i get right, thanks guys

Make sure the gear on the dizzy is compatible with the cam you have, ie iron/iron or steel/steel.
