Switching 305 TPI to carb
Ok guys I have a 305 TPI and I am wanting to switch to a carb set up and I was wondering what I would have to do to the fuel system becasue stock fuel pressure is higher than what I need and I dont think I can regulate it down that far so what ALL do I need to switch over to a carb? Thanks guys

Why would you want to switch to carb, fuel injection is so much better, but If you get rid of your TPI ill take it off your hands

While I tend to agree with the expressed sentiments (I'd add, work with what you've got), they don't answer your questions.

Your questions, however, are answered in a tech article linked from the TGO homepage.
