84 fuel pump issue Reply #30 – August 22, 2008, 03:44:46 PM I have no personal experience converting to a carb, but other people on here have done it.Your current distributor has no vacuum or centrifugal advance. That is all controlled by the EEC based on sensor inputs.You would want to change to a Duraspark ignition that does'nt require a computer.Have tried to find an EEC for it?Here are some I found:http://car-part.com/ Select "engine computer" from the select part drop down.
