    problems getting carbed 306 to fire

    Anyone want to talk me out of going carbed?

    really? didnt know that. only bought the filter on a hope and a prayer that my stock hood may clear it. it looks close, but i am more concerned on getting it running before i worry about hood clearance

    Anyone want to talk me out of going carbed?

    i too am always skeptical on used parts, and unfortunately money constraints forced me to do so. the only thing i am terribly concerned about is the used carb i got, but hopefully everything will go ok for me

    Converting my 88 back to EFI...

    if you are running a sumped tank for the carb setup, why not just keep it and run an external pump for the efi as opposed to tearing out the tank?

    Quickest BOLT ON 94-95 Cobra(Intake to Oilpan, stock)

    yes it certainly can be done. there are others out there that dont frequent the forums much or at all, so dont think it is a long shot or it takes a factory freak to make it happen. its all in the combo and driver ability (track conditions help or hurt too). i was going 13.80s in my 95 gt...

    Anyone want to talk me out of going carbed?

    on my carb swap, i ended up saving some cash. i had a longblock, and still needed injectors, maf, intake manifold, and a tune which all in all is damn near $1000 (poor college guy). on my swap to carb, i sold off my old efi parts and it really helped offset the cost. plus, i think you over payed...

    switching to carboration

    i have a question for you- did you use a vacuum advance distributor. i have one off of an 85 gt, and the vacuum advance hits the accessory brackets, throwing it all off where it needs to go in. any advice on how to get around this, aside from buying a $200 msd dizzy?
