Duraspark conversion--feedback carb gone

[acelcobra]

I'm considering the Duraspark conversion....My only question is this: Do I have to get rid of the 2150A feedback carb? The guide says: "the old feedback carb 'SHOULD' be replaced". Is there a way to keep it? New carbs are expensive and I don't trust a used one....Plus I just rebuilt the feedback carb. Any thoughts appreciated
Thanx

There's an old post here with some conversion info for the stock carb:

I don't know myself how well that conversion works, or what's involved in getting it set up right.

I'm in the same boat basically. I have everything for the Duraspark conversion except for the carb; and the truck already has a recently-rebuilt stock unit. Not sure which way I'll go, as I'm not in a hurry, but I'd like to keep a Motorcraft 2150 versus getting a Holley.
