I've found some web sites that sell manifolds for Modular engines that take Carburetors.
But since mod engines don't have Distributors SooOOo howthe heck do you get a carb to work on a computer controlled ignition system??

Uhhh... good question.

Subscribed.

run a crank trigger with a computerized ignition setup that fires the coils probably. whats the site?

no kiddin, I had to subscribe to this one. this could be interesting...

that is weird never thought anyone would even do this. But why though? what is the advantage to swapping to a carb? other than ease of repairs.

I said fin!

Tony the description says nothing about the part allowing you to run a carb.

That would be cool... I may have to look into it. I dunno how it would work on my already modded 5.4, it might help.

If you have to have it emissions checked, forget about it.

Thats awesome, find a 95 Mustang (first year of Mods but without OBDII), or a MkVIII or 94+ TBird. Most states still smog OBDII vehicles but not OBDI so that would be safer, CA you are screwed either way.

I got a Mark VIII, but I will stay with FI.

I dont blame you, MKVIII are tight and I wouldnt screw it up if I had one.

Really? Read it again.

Get complete ignition control.
The MSD 6-Mod ignition controllers were originally developed for Ford modular motors that were fed through a carburetor rather than an electronic fuel injection system. However, with the useful options that the 6-Mods provide, such as two rev limits, a step retard, and easy control over the timing, the EFI guys wanted a way to take advantage of the adjustment. The answer lies in these new 6-MOD wiring harness kits. These new harnesses provide a splice-free installation of the MSD 6-Mod controllers to factory-equipped EFI vehicles, making installation a snap. All of the connectors plug directly into the factory units, so there is no cutting or splicing of your factory wires required. The compact tach adapters ensure that the ECU and the 6-Mods receive the signals required to keep both systems operating as designed. Once installed, the 6-Mods allow users to advance or retard the factory's timing curve, program a step retard for use with nitrous systems, or even map out a timing curve through a laptop by using MSD's Pro-Data+ software.

Edelbrock also has a kit that includes the intake, carb, and ignition system as a complete kit. had a customer that had the bright idea of taking the V6 out of his Cougar and put in a mod motor, but switch to a carb because it all would be simpler...

On some drag race classes, it is required to run carbs, so to be able to run mod motors opens up more possibilities for engine options.
