According to the tech article on switching from tbi to carb,i need to either get fuel pressure reducer or fuel pump from carb car.Can the fuel pump come from any early f-body with the ecm4 carb.Also,how do i hook up the eletric choke?

Yes, you can use an '82-'87 carb mechanical fuel pump. Be aware that you will need to either have the factory in-tank electric pump operating, or remove it.

Use a switched 12 volt source for the electric choke.
