Hey all,
Recently got my hands on a 2.3 that’s currently fuel injected but the engine wiring harness is toasted. Edward scissor hands got into the engine bay and went to town.
Currently piecing together the conversion for carb based off posts here and other places.
Here’s what I have so far:
- [ ] Weber 32/36
- [ ]
- [ ] Adapter for lower intake
- [ ] Distributor
- [ ] Gm hei
- [ ] PC 91 e coil
- [ ] Freeze plugs for injector holes
- [ ] Fuel pressure regulator
- [ ] Fuel lines
- [ ] New spark plugs
My only concern is this distributor and e coil I got:
E coil:
I am not sure if that setup would work with the gm hei system. Or if I may have gotten the wrong distributor. I tried to search for ones from older pintos and mustang II but no place, along with rock auto, has any in stock with the vacuum advance.
Any help/insigits would be appreciated. Want to get this old girl back on the road.
