I would first like to state that im 16 building one of my dream trucks
But ive ran into a couple issues that im not sure what to do about
i have a 1986 f-150 supercab lifted with a little 302
The motors been bored .40 over with a mild lift cam
I switched from EFI to a carb
I just dont know if i need to change anything else
Any help or idea will help very much

 

You need to make sure the fuel pump as the right psi for the carb. Most carbs want 6-9psi. Your pickup will be much higher.

 

the truck has high volume fuel pumps in it by Edelbrock. But i planned on replacing them soon because the trucks been sitting 6 months with 2 half tanks of gas
I've done a EGR delete off the motor because the egr isn't nothing but crap
It shortens the life of the motor but recirculating exhaust through the motor
Ive also got a holly 650 i believe
Should i buy a carb spacer or no?
i also did a high volume water pump with a over sized radiator.
Ive got alot of extra little things to be done to the motor

 

spacer will add a little bit of cheap horsepower, be certain of hood/aircleaner clearance though.

check the manual for the carb you have, it will specify what psi it wants from the fuel pumps, i recently worked on a 390fe that got an edelbrock, stock carb was fine with the pressure it was getting but the new one kept flooding untill i checked, it was over 6psi when the carb shouldnt get more than 5.5 causing fuel to push past the needle

upgrade the ignition system while your there too

 

The carb says don't go pass 6.7 or it will cause continuous flooding.
I went with all msd ignition too ordered it all last night

 

Its a edlebrock 600. Just to correct myself
