That ought to get a carb on there but I think you'll need to stick with the electric fuel tank and get a pressure regulator.
good thinking,
there is probably not a hole in that block for the furl pump push-rod

Re: TBI to Carb

Had not thought of there not being a place for the mechanical fuel pump. I'll have to look. I'm supposed to get another phone call to go look closer. Basically like 3 trucks for one price sorta thing, only one with drive line though is 'smoked' perse.

My TBI block is not drilled for the fuel pump push rod and only has one of the four cover plate bolt holes drilled.

I thought about making a drill fixture using another block to be able to drill the TBI block out so I could run a mechanical fuel pump on it if needed.

You would need a pretty long drill bit and it would have to be exactly the right size so the push rod fit right and got the proper amount of oil like stock. Probably a job best left to an engine machine shop.
