What's the best system i can have using mainly original parts?
from searching, i have gathered that the efi manifold with the injector holes blocked off and a mixer in place of the throttlebody would be ideal, but what mixer/gas carb would suit that.

ATM im looking into a Petrol carb converted to gas. Maybe a Quadrajet, or because the carb essentially becomes a throttlebody, maybe i should go with twin varijets or triple webbers for throttle response.
Ideas, Ideas............
