I had decided on switching to a carb but now I'm hearing I may have to change the cam and distributor.
I've planned it out, just starting to put the pieces together. I found a place on ebay selling trimmed down/refurbed oe engine harnesses. I just received mine last week. It looks nice and was very reasonable. haven't spent any time with it yet though...

For the 200 bucks it was worth a shot to me. I've got a 700r4 from the donor, so I went with the optional tranny control. If this all works out like it should, I will have sever hundred less in a more reliable setup. Intake , carb, distributor, trans control all add up pretty quick. I'm a little out of my element, so we will just have to see how it all works out.
