swapping from tbi to carb...what do i need?

Obviously i know ill need to buy a carb and an intake but my question is that will i be able to use my same fuel pump, i think its like 9 to 13 pounds of line pressure and how hard would it be to wire up a vacuum advance distributor. Also what kind of regulator will i need? the reason im making the swap is b/c this tbi crap is only good to 4500 rpm before it cuts off the fuel and spark and plus the ecm is throwing all kinds of fits. i've tried to make it work and i've spent a bunch of money on it and im tired of it and plus carbs are more tuneable than tbi is. any ways thanks for any replies.

change the chip settings. in my opinion, playing on a computer, is easier than leaning over a hood for an hour turnin screws

however, not less expensive.

if you are swapping out. ide be interested in all of your tbi setup. email me
