are you putting a carb on your efi car?
You can use the same fuel system.
You will have to use a return type regulator and set the pressure to 5-8 psi.
Hope this helps.
You can also do a serch on corral there is plenty of help there.
You will also need the correct throttle cable. off 85 and older stang.

That was some good reading!
But I disagree with the (do not use your efi pump) Thats just plain BS!
Good luck either way!
And he does have a good point.
WHY are you thinking of doing this???

You wouldn't use the EFI pump for two reasons...
1. It runs at 40+ psi ALL THE TIME. Throw a carb'd regulator at it, it will burn up within weeks.
2. Why would you want to go through the hassle of setting up/running a return line?
