this is a long shot but

can i use the stock mustang electronics to run the distributor and timing

and use a carbuerator to control fuel flow

its just a thought i had

i know the computer will throw a check engine light since the injectors wont be firing, but will the distributor still work without the computer pulling timing

im gonna guess no. wont the computer be telling the relay to turn on the fuel pump?...and bring fuel to the front. secondly, on an efi setup isnt the regulator on the return side of the rails, where as in a carb setup the regulator is on the entry side? i could be way off on this.

get an msd [patriot]

Talk to Byron of Racesystems.com . Maybe he can cut a very custom chip to do just that.
