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?

Your going to have to change distributor and coil and wire the msd box acordingly if bought new the box will come with wiring for efi or carb ignitions if not you can get the diagram off the internet

I yanked my harness and put a painless pro street in mine

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]
