I have a 1984 Lincoln Town Car. It has CFI on it, and I have been considering swapping it to a carburetor. I am planning on using a Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, a Performer 500cfm carb, a mallory dual point distributor, and an Edelbrock Performer Plus cam shaft.
What I would like to know, can I use the stock in the tank fuel pump for this project with a fuel pressuer regulator? Or should I use a mechanical fuel pump? What about connecting the TV, and kick down rod for the AOD?
Anyother advice that I could get on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Being you want to go to a carburetor, you will need a fuel regulator to reduce the fuel pressure to work with the carb. Take look at http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=499140 to see. The fuel regulator will need to be put inline before the carb.

Here's another example: http://forums.corral.net/forums/5-0-5-8-engine-tech/359786-need-1985-5-0-hp-specs.html

You may want to do more research on Thunderbird, Crown Victoria, and Mustang forums looking into this swap. Lots of luck to you on it.

It's just a SUPER-DUTY Mustang GT Sedan. 198K miles and still rolling HARD.

1997 Crown Victoria P71 SVT *** ex-US Marshall service (the CAR)
STOCK?? I bet it was modified.

13.26 @ 107.24 MPH 1/4 mi w/ me, tools, & full tank of 93 octane

I added CAI, NICHE 19 X 8.5 " wheels with 245/45ZR 19 rubbers, and completely rebuilt the front end with poly bushings, Kooks headers, 2 1/4inch exhaust, TCI 2200-2400 rpm Stall converter

.PLANS:: engine upgrade, 5.4L 2v stroker, rebuild interior in leather w/ buckets, thinking about turbos

I've noticed that there are two fuel lines going to the throttle body. Could one of them be a return line?
