Anyone know of one for a 302.

Just planning at the moment, all help appreciated.

I'll post some engine compartment shots of mine...I hid all of my wiring harness sections in the fenders and behind the firewall.
(edit)...Any of you who checked out the pics I posted of my engine would have seen the lack of wiring in my engine compartment. And yes! everything works just fine.

I want to see the hidden wiring pics.As far as carbs go.I personally wouldn't go back to a carb,but,it's all a matter of personal taste with their own cars.The same way some people want full out race cars,and some don't.Everyone has their own vision for their car.I'm sure we have all done some mod to our cars that others wouldn't care for.I support the carb conversion,although I would go that direction myself.Today,with all of the aftermarket parts available for the 5.0 at really cheap prices (Ebay,here,the Corral,etc.),the sky is the limit with EFI,plus,awesome reliablity in all weather as well.

That's fine get as pissy as you want and insult me.
I'd rather change jets when I do a mod rather then go and get a tune.

Take it easy. It's his car and he can do absolutely anything he wants. He isn't "waisting" any of our time on the forums. After all, that's one of the reasons why we're here in the first place - to offer help.

LOL coolcats.net has the article on CFI -> Carb conversion so I would say it should be allowed here. :hick:
 
But really, I have learned a lot about EFI with this car but I STILL dont like cars + computers. I really prefer the old stuff, I wish I was growing up 30 or 40 years ago, "changin jets" like 88XR7 said.
 
Too many wires.....looks like a robot or something imho. I never get tired of lookin at an old carbed motor with the big round canister air filter.
