The basic way? Carburetor, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, some additional fuel line w/fittings, non-lockup torque converter, and vacuum controlled distributor. The better way? Carburetor, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, some additional fuel line w/fittings, and the stock ECM set up to control only your stock converter's lockup and spark advance....
