What about the wiring harness? Or will the ign box connect to the other harness?

I perfer carbed cars. I don't know much about fuel inj cars. Plus I already have the parts to run what I wanna do with it. Otherwise I would have to buy the manifold and all the other supporting mods to run what I want.

"A carburetor is an incredibly ingenious and complex device for providing the wrong air-fuel ratio under all conditions of load and speed."
What is there you need to know about EFI? I can't wait to get rid of the carb on my car and run an EFI system.

My first car was a carb, my dads car is a carb, all i have worked on is carbed cars, so i wanna stick to the carb. plus if i wanna throw a 347 in my car i already have the carb and manifold to do it. but in a fuel inj car id need to buy a new manifold, Throttle body, injectors and who knows what else?(not me) Plus pay to have it tuned right?
So anyone know if ill have to change the harness? Or can i wire in a msd box into the stock harness and run a carb?

the easiest way is.... msd box & dizzy, after market pump & reg... power to the pump ...power to the msd box.... and you have a running car.. no need to cut or remove and wiring.. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
