    1985 Ford CFI to Carb conversion

    Has anyone done this conversion for the 1985 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 CFI to a carb conversion? The CFI sucks ass. I'm running the AOD tranny.
    I have done some research and found that you need to swap the intake and carb, but also the distributer, coil, and potenttially the fuel pump.
    What size carb? I'm thinking 550 to 600CFM.
    I heard you can use a Duraspark dizzy, but not sure if its vacuum advance or what....What years can I get this from?
    I've also read that you can possible reuse the in tank fuel pump and regulate it down to carb level psi's, what PSI?
    What Coil? How am I wiring the distributer?
    What am I doing for the tranny kickdown?
    Anything I'm missing?


    Also, I'm looking for all these parts if you have them, or know someone.

    Those self tuning bolt on fuel injection kits are getting better and cheaper. Would solve the fuel pressure issue as well. Might be worth looking into. I think the Fi-tech ones are the best priced option for a mild combo
